As the music starts to fall over them, louder, he's getting the same impression - this feels like Wall Market. The stalls, the music, the cutting loose everyone is doing at once...

Yeah, Kitsuragi. Helped me out a bit, when I was first getting my bearings - and during last month, too. [ He owes a fair bit to Kim he hasn't gotten a chance to repay, yet. ] ...Glad to know he's safe. [ It means he can... say more, about AVALANCHE. About Sephiroth, even, maybe. He's already seen the Whispers, but maybe Cloud can have a more full conversation about what they mean. ]

...Detectives, huh? I don't know if I fit that profile, either. [ He's going to give a small little scoff. Playful, really. ] But I guess you aren't wrong, at a glance. [ Tama, Kim. Matoba, Ryouma. Definitely a lot of people who liked to gather information, in Sutoku. ]

I'd almost say that should mean you are here instead of me. But maybe you make too much mischief. That's why Tenkohime grabbed your contract.
