I never said he didnt care for her, or she didnt care for him. Im saying she didnt know him long enough or well enough to be truly in love with him. I could care less who he ends up with, and it really doesnt matter, seeing as Aerith is (SPOILER)dead. I could care less if you think they're madly head over heels for eachother. I dont think people fall in love that quickly.

Secondly, that's exactly what I'm saying. The Cloud all throughout the game is living a lie and thinking all these false things about himself. The person he thinks he is isnt who he is at all. His real self is discovered in that event, thanks to the trauma of the Life Stream and Tifa's help.
