Time to push Tifa past her limits

System: Congratulations, you killed the Saurian chief Syzoth, weakening empress Sindel's territory

System: You leveled up from 527 to 637

System: You gained the skill camouflage and the magic spell Acid Armament

Aerith: How's everyone doing

Jessie: We're still alive, so I say pretty good

Tifa: I wish there were more of them for me to kill

Byleth: I like this new version of you

Tifa: I dropped my guard and almost cost Aiden his life. I will not let that happen again

Aerith: Don't be so hard on yourself

Aiden: No, she needs to be

Aerith: Aiden, what are you doing

Aiden: We'll have to deal with much stronger enemies from now on, stronger than them, so either handle it or you walk away now, because I refuse to carry dead weight

Aerith: Aiden your going to far

Aiden: NO THIS NEEDS TO BE SAID

Aiden: I have no need for a little girl who cries when I get hurt because she's not paying attention

Tifa: That's not fair

Aiden: neither is the life of an adventurer, so either toughen up, walk away, it's my own fault really for thinking you were better than Cloud

Tifa: I AM

Aiden: Then I never want to see you cry again, it's a weakness that people will exploit. What do you think will happen if you're captured? Those tears won't save you when you get **** by our enemies

Aerith: STOP. THAT'S ENOUGH

Aiden: No, it isn't. This goes for all of you, it's reality, you're no longer part of Cloud's party, you're part of mine, and I'm here to prepare you for the truth, so what will it be Tifa, will you walk away or will you fight like the warrior I know you are

Tifa: I WANT TO FIGHT

Aiden: then hit me

Tifa: What

Aiden: HIT ME

Tifa tries to hit you with almost no power

Aiden: HARDER

She hits you again

Aiden: I SAID HARDER, OR ARE YOU TRULY THIS PATHETIC JUST LIKE CLOUD, NO WONDER YOU TWO DATED, HE ALWAYS LOOKED DOWN ON YOU AND YOU DID NOTHING TO STOP IT, YOU'RE FUCKING PATHETIC

Tifa: SHUT UP

Tifa tries to hit you with all her might, but you dodge out of the way, and she hits a giant tree, destroying it in one punch

Jessie: holy fuck, I didn't know Tifa was that strong

Aiden: I'm sorry about doing that, but it needed to be done

Aerith: Oh god, let me heal your hand, it's bleeding

Tifa: Aiden

Aiden: yeah

Tifa: Don't apologise, I needed to hear that

Aiden: That's why I said it, but don't get me wrong, I expect all of you to be able to take care of yourself, so don't count on me to save any of you, so if any of you want to leave because of that, I'll understand

Mash: So Jessie, are you gonna leave

Jessie: What's that supposed to mean

Byleth: You couldn't hurt those reptiles, and you only started doing some damage to them after Mash and I gave you advice

Mash: If we talk about effectiveness in the party, you would be at the bottom

Jessie: I'm a support class

Byleth: Then where was the support? Those reptiles would have ripped you apart if Mash hadn't protected you

Aiden: Alright enough, it's getting dark, we should find a place to camp

Tifa: Yeah, let's go

Tifa walks past you with a determined look in her eyes, like she's ready to prove herself to you

Aerith: Aiden, hold on, I understand now why you did that, but that could have ended horribly

Aiden: She needed to hear that

Aerith: You could have eased into that, instead of screaming at her like that

Aiden: I'm not sorry I did what was needed

Aerith: Am I gonna see more of this version of you

Aiden: I'm now also in charge of keeping you three girls safe, that comes with stress, so yeah, you probably are gonna see more of this version of me

Aerith smiles at you and bites on her finger seductively

Aerith: I can take away your stress, use all your stress and anger on me, I can take it

Aiden: I don't think you can

Aerith: only one way to find out, don't hold back tonight, give me everything you have, until all your stress and anger is gone

Aiden: Are you sure? I'll get rough, really rough

Aerith: I don't care, I'll take it all, if that's what you need

Byleth: HURRY UP GUYS, YOU'RE FALLING BEHIND

Aiden: we're coming
