She's dead. Okay so Rebirth doesn't explain this very well. And Remake doesn't explain it at all. So let me tell you about Dream Worlds.
The Dream Worlds exist within the Lifestream. They're basically little pocket world soap bubbles that the spirits of the dead live in before they pop and the inhabitants diffuse within the Lifestream. All the non canon shit happens in them but trust me bro, it's NOT a multiverse. Even though Cloud has pulled at least 2 physical objects from them, just shut up, don't think about that.
Why does this matter? Well when Sephiroth killed Aerith, Cloud refused to accept that. Causing Cloud to invent his own Dream World where Aerith isn't dead. "But wait," you say, "if the Dream Worlds aren't real then how was Aerith, and Zack, able to fight alongside Cloud in the final battle?" The answer is because SE is stupid. But the in game answer is Sephiroth's goal is to absorb the Lifestream, just like in OG. Unlike OG his motives are more altruistic. He's trying to undo the concept of death by uniting all of the Dream Worlds with reality, bringing all of the inhabitants along with it. Granted he's using despair a catalyst but shut up, don't think about that. The problem with his plan is that he accidentally allowed a dead Aerith and an extremely dead Zack to wander in and help out Cloud. Whoops.
What does all of this mean? Cloud can no longer tell the difference between the Dream Worlds and reality, so unlike the rest of the party, Cloud THINKS Aerith is still alive. Will part 3 manufacture a way to make that true? Who the fuck knows.
