Tifa had to fight not to collapse immediately once they'd pulled themselves onto the rocks, completely drained by the time they'd made it out of the water. She wanted them to be safe now, for everything to just suddenly be better once they were free of the cave.

But she knew Madness didn't work like that. The horrible thing that crept into people's minds here, their hearts, it didn't go away once free from the source, and no one seemed to know how long it took to wear off entirely.

Kanji's wail startled her, brought her back to the fact that he was still suffering. Whatever he saw down there, it was haunting him and keeping a steady grip on him. At this rate, who knew what he'd do.

Moving over to her partner, Tifa moved swiftly to flip him on his back, almost slamming him back as she pressed down on his shoulders with her hands. Water dripping from her and breath panting out, she glared down at him and spoke as clearly and loudly as she could, trying to shake him from it.

"Kanji! There was nothing down there! We're out now!"
