Tidus never hid how much she meant to him in the past. It shouldn’t come as a surprise when she distances herself from him, he’s going to be worried. He’s going to want to know why.

“You..you have never held me back. No matter where I go or what people come into my life, you’re always going to be important to me.” He says earnestly. He’s slowly starting to realize just how deep his feelings for her run.

“I want you in my life, no matter what. And…and I want Claude out of yours.” Like he had any power to tell her who she should date. “He’s not good enough for you. He doesn’t deserve to have you in his life. There are better guys for you.”
