It really wasn't uncommon to find Cloud hanging out at Seventh Heaven after a mission, chatting with Tifa and having a few drinks. He was practically glued to the woman anyway. This time, though, a different employee took up Tifa's job. She wasn't here, so Cloud sat by himself quietly, sipping from his glass. His eyes were glued to his drink, only ever glancing up when one of the patrons said something interesting.
