[Tifa's coffee has stopped steaming, and she hasn't touched it since Ren's placed it down. She only stares at it, as the surface ripples when either of them makes any movement, but she suddenly doesn't feel quite as thirsty. Had she even, in the first place? Her lips press together.]

Um, sort of...? [To Akechi's question. Her gaze moves up, and then around as she thinks back.] Cloud for sure, but he hasn't been down to the hideout. I don't think Aerith was in Seventh Heaven for very long, so I'm not sure how much she knew.

[She thinks, anyway. Tifa has no idea how long had passed when Aerith had gotten to Marlene and when the plate had crashed, so there might not have been much time for her to take a good enough look. Cloud, on the other hand, would have the same memory of the bar that she would, but with less of the smaller details.

But when Ren asks his question, Tifa shifts in her seat. How much does she want to divulge here...?]

There was a power company—the Shinra Electric Power Company... they were harming the planet. [That's as simple as she can make it.] We were part of an anti-Shinra group called AVALANCHE. Operating in the city under Shinra's control... you kinda need a safe place to meet, yeah?
