[ please don't ask me if haiku's exist in ff7 ]

In... what?

A type of poetry. Five syllables for the first line, seven for the second, and then five once more.

[ . . . ]

At the very least, metaphor and theoretical prose can be effective to get messages across. The oddity of them stands out against common speech.

If I start reciting poetry, people are gonna think I'm cursed.

But if you do it just once and intentionally, they might realize you are trying to tell them something.

[ ... but he'd still have to write AND recite poetry...

he looks so disgruntled at the idea help ]

[he laughs faintly at that]

I will assist to the best of my ability.

... Maybe I just don't tell anyone else.

[ what if he gives up instead ]

[a beat]

There are limitations upon my assistance, Cloud Strife.

I don't even know if I'm right. About "Aquarius"'s journal, sure, but...

[ the ninth staff is a GUESS he is not 100% confident in ]

One could always suppose that it is another staff member who chose to write the journal in a misleading fashion.

[who knows!!]

Ultimately, it is difficult to discern what what are meant to take away from these clues.

[ who knows...he sighs a little, massaging his head ]

I don't know. If the one Shinobu's group got is staff related too, I might strangle someone.

Let us hope that it is perhaps something on the Nightman instead, then.

... Feels like we're jinxing ourselves even hoping for it.

Ha ha ha.

Whatever it is, we will manage it as it comes.

As much as we've managed anything here so far, sure.

[ they're............. managing ]

.... well, I believe each are doing their best.

[but jiji's really not the type to criticize freely]

Though in the final weeks, we will have to see what more we can manage in addition.
