BARRET: Have y'all ever considered that none of this is real? That we're just part of some game, a simulation?
TIFA: Barret, what are you talking about?
AERITH: It's an interesting thought, though. Sometimes, everything does seem too surreal to be true.
BARRET: Exactly! Maybe we're just codes in a computer, or pawns in someone else's game.
CLOUD: Barret, that's ridiculous. Even if it were true, how would that change anything?
CLOUD: We are living in a base reality by definition.
TIFA: Cloud's right. Whether it's a simulation or not, this is our reality. We have to deal with it.
AERITH: Maybe the real question should be, what can we do to make this reality better?
BARRET: Hmph, you're all just too afraid to face the truth. But mark my words, one day you'll see.
Those aren't people. They're characters in a video game, and so aren't having a conversation.
