The "Do you love me?" scene from Case of Tifa, the official novella written by Kazushige Nojima, the script writer of FFVII, recreated using scenes from the Advent Children movie.

Read Case of Tifa here (ACC revised version): thelifestream.net/ffvii-advent-children-complete/3820/on-the-way-to-a-smile-case-of-tifa-revised-translation

It acts as a prologue to Advent Children, showing what happens with Cloud and Tifa in the two years between the ending of the game and the movie. It ultimately shows how Cloud ends up in his state in the movie through Tifa's eyes. It's one of 6 novellas.

Here is the extract this is made from:

After making certain that Cloud was asleep, she spoke to him.

Well be all right, wont we?

Of course, there was no answer. I only heard the sound of him sleeping. I wondered if the fact that he was sleeping here meant that he was part of the family.

Do you love me?

Cloud woke up, a perplexed look on his face.

Hey, Cloud. Do you love Marlene?

Yeah. But sometimes I dont know how to approach her.

Even though weve been together for some time?

Maybe that just isnt enough.

Even we arent enough for you?

Cloud didnt answer.

Sorry for asking some strange things.

Dont apologize. Its my problem.

Cloud closed his eyes.

Lets work hard together.

Tifa waited for his answer, though she couldnt hear it even if she waited until the morning.
