It’s her desperately clinging on to a remnant of her past and the delusion of wanting a knight in shining armor to whisk her away. Her and Cloud’s relationship otherwise is awkward and unnatural as Tifa is pressuring him to open up to her while Cloud is unsure about her and being torn between Tifa, a remnant of his past and a bombshell that’s obsessed with him and is the reason he’s pretending to be who he’s not, and Aerith, his soulmate that can see directly through his bullshit and loves and accepts him for who he truly is.
