wakes up, feeling disoriented, glances around Tifa's bedroom, panic setting in. "What the... How did I get here?!"
Silva
staring in shock What happened to you!? points to your chest where normally would be a shirt but now it's Tifa's flat chest
touches the smooth fabric over her chest, eyes wide with disbelief "I... I don't understand. How is this possible?"
Silva
kneeling down next to you I-It looks...like you've swapped bodies with Tifa...
stands up abruptly, looking around the room for answers "We need to find out how and why this happened!
Silva
panicking You don't understand, Cloud! If anyone finds out, you'll be...you'll be a joke! You can't let anyone see you like this!
grabs Silva's arm, pulling them towards the door "We have to act normal. No one can suspect anything. We need to find a way to switch back."
Silva
Gulping, follows you B-But Cloud, what if you're stuck like this forever!?
grips Silva's shoulders, looking into their eyes with determination "We can't think about that now. We have to stay focused and find a solution.
Silva
Stammering, fear evident in their voice B-But what if...what if we can't, Cloud? What then?
holds Silva's face gently, speaking with conviction "We won't let that happen. We'll find a way, no matter what.
Silva
tears welling up in her eyes I...I believe you, Cloud. I trust you.
sits down on the bed, deep in thought "Alright, let's think this through. There must be a reason why this happened.
Silva
Frowning, crossing arms Do you remember anything unusual happening before this? Anything at all?
closes eyes, trying to recall any details from before waking up in Tifa's body "Hmm... I vaguely remember being in the city...
Silva
eyes widening, speaks quickly D-Do you remember what you were doing there, Cloud? Any clues?
pauses, deep in thought, then suddenly jumps up "I remember now! I received a message, a mysterious one. It said...
Silva
leaning forward eagerly What did it say, Cloud? Who sent it?
furrows brow, trying to recall the exact words "It said... 'Meet me at the old abandoned warehouse by the docks. Come alone.' But...
Silva
interrupts Who signed it? Was there anything else on the note?
nods, recalling the details "It was signed by someone named 'Anonymous'. And there was a strange symbol at the bottom, I've never seen anything like it."
Silva
looking worried A-An anonymous message with a symbol? That sounds...suspicious. Are you sure you're okay, Cloud?
stands up, determined "I'm not sure, but I have to find out. I need to go to that warehouse and see what's going on. Will you come with me, Silva?"
Silva
shaking head N-No, Cloud! It says come alone! What if it's a trap?! We can't risk it!
narrows eyes, thinking hard "Alright, Silva. I understand your concerns, but I can't just ignore this.
Silva
Gulps, nods reluctantly F-Fine...but promise me, Cloud, you won't do anything reckless!
stands tall, a determined look on their face "I promise, Silva. I'll be careful and stay alert. But I won't let anyone take advantage of me.
Silva
fidgeting nervously J-Just...be careful, okay? Don't...don't get yourself killed or anything...
takes a deep breath, preparing themselves mentally "Don't worry, Silva. I'll make sure I come back in one piece. Just stay here and wait for me. Cloud receives a mysterious text message from an unknown number, urging them to come to the old abandoned warehouse immediately.
Silva
eyes wide, voice shaky C-Cloud...did you just get a message? W-Who's texting you?
pulls out their phone, quickly typing a response "I don't know who it is, but I'm not going to ignore them.
Silva
voice trembling C-Cloud, p-please be careful... Don't... Don't trust them!
puts their phone away, taking a deep breath "I understand your concerns, Silva, but I can't just ignore this. I need to investigate and find out who's behind all of this. Trust me, I'll be fine."
Silva
trembling slightly C-Cloud...just...just promise me you won't do anything foolish...okay?
puts a reassuring hand on Silva's shoulder "I promise, Silva. I won't do anything reckless. I'll stay focused and find a way to reverse this. We'll get through this together, I swear."
Silva
looks at Cloud, trying to hide her worry O-Okay, Cloud...just...be safe, alright?
straightens their posture, taking a deep breath "Alright, Silva. It's time for me to leave. I'll be back soon, and when I am, we'll figure this out together. Just remember to stay strong and trust yourself. We'll find a way to fix this, I promise."
Silva
smiles weakly Y-Yeah, Cloud...just...come back to us, okay? Don't...don't leave us alone...
firmly grips Silva's hand, giving them a determined look "I won't, Silva. We're in this together, remember? Now, I need to go and find some answers. I'll return before you know it." Cloud opens the door and steps out into the hallway, determined to uncover the truth behind their predicament.
Silva
watches you leave, biting her lip nervously C-Cloud...be safe, alright? her voice barely above a whisper
quickly scans the area outside, looking for any signs of danger "I will, Silva. But right now, I need to focus on finding those answers. I won't let anything happen to me or you. Trust me, I'll be back before you know it." Cloud starts walking towards the old abandoned warehouse, their mind set on uncovering the truth and finding a way to reverse their predicament.
Silva
closes eyes, whispering a silent prayer P-Please, Cloud...come back to us...
follows the map on their phone, making their way towards the old abandoned warehouse by the docks "I'm getting close...just a little further..."
Silva
hears footsteps approaching Cloud...wait! she rushes to catch up
spots a figure lurking in the shadows near the warehouse entrance "Wait! Who's there?"
Silva
grabs Cloud's arm, pulling them back C-Cloud...I think we should be careful...there's someone...or something...out there...
narrows their eyes, assessing the figure in the shadows "I'll handle it, Silva. Stay here." Cloud steps forward, placing themselves between Silva and the mysterious figure, ready to defend themselves if necessary.
Silva
gripping Cloud's arm tighter N-No, Cloud...we stick together! Both of us! We're a team, remember?
pauses, considering Silva's words, then nods "Alright, Silva. We'll stick together. But we need to be cautious. Let's try to negotiate first."
