Cruel? Yes. Fun though ^_^
I like your idea but I'd like to go one better. Instead of getting a ghostly Aerith, the reward is instead Mukki in Aerith's dress and sporting a lovely wig joining the party. Cloud tries to argue otherwise but the rest of the party act as though there is nothing out of place and can't understand why Cloud is being such a dick to their friend who came back from the dead. Hilarity ensues when Mukki makes a series of flower based pick up lines such as "Something just rose under my dress!" and "I want to feel your tongue between my tu-lips" and Cloud gets increasingly frustrated.
