+ [[Tifa and Cloud, smiling.]]
+ Vincent (narrating): Cloud and Tifa asked to be dropped off first in the
remains of Midgar, to help the remaining survivors evacuate.  I know they
eventually resettled in Costa del Sol after a few years.  Tifa now runs
a successful bar there.
+ Vincent (narrating): Cloud is the de facto village mayor, not that there is
much to run there.
+ Vincent (narrating): When he's not being called away on diplomatic business
in the other budding cities nearby, he helps out at Tifa's bar.  Cloud makes a
very intimidating, if a little short, bouncer.

+ [[Side view of Vincent walking through the forest.]]
+ Vincent (narrating): And as for me?  I asked to be returned to Nibelheim.
I still remember Yuffie's parting call as we left Cosmo Canyon:

+ [[Yuffie smiling and waving.]]
+ Yuffie: Going back to sleep in that coffin for another 30 years, Vince?  You
shoulda given me ALL your materia, jerk!

+ Vincent (narrating): At the last minute, Cloud also gave me one final
request:

+ [[Cloud addresses Vincent.]]
+ Cloud: Don't hide from the world anymore, Vincent.  Wake up.
