Aerith, out of everyone I reached out to about this, you're the person I knew the least. I'm now more certain than ever I made the right choice.
I don't want you to push him into anything. And if anyone tries to push, you have every right to tell them politely and firmly to fuck right the hell off. I'm very glad he has you to help defend him against more compounding trauma right now.
The reason I want you to talk to Tendi and Florian and Iris is that they are a resource for you. You don't know what's attributable to the potion and what's not. That is a question they can help you find the answer to. You should feel completely empowered to set limits on what they can and can't do to figure it out, but they have more options and knowledge to put at your and Cloud's disposal than I do.
But if you don't trust them, and Cloud doesn't wish for anyone else to be involved, that's a decision for the two of you. I've told Tendi that I'd let all the victims know about her offer, but that I wouldn't pass on names without permission. I haven't, and I won't. How much access any of them get to Cloud is up to you.
