"I really hate that that statement is coming from you, someone who is supposed to be socially impaired."
"Oh, I have actually quite mastered my social skills, Aerith."
"...I hate that I think you might actually be right."
"I also happen to overhear back on Theran that you didn't have any friends growing up."
"Just shut up. You don't have friends either."
"By choice."
"Shut up."
It is true—Aerith did not have any friends growing up. She was surrounded by people, true—but none really understood her. Even at the earliest of her age, she knew she was different from the other themarians.
