As Y/N was sitting at his chair, Tifa comes up from the elevator and she walks behind the counter and she pours herself a glass of water. She sits down on the chair and takes a sip of her water.

Y/N: I heard you're having second thoughts.

Tifa: I know we have to think big if we're going to make a difference. But not like this. I just... I feel trapped.

Y/N: If it feels wrong, don't do it.

There was a moment of silence until Jessie came up.

Tifa: Guess that's that, then.

Y/N: What, they kick you out?

Tifa: We agreed to disagree. So, you want another drink?

Cloudia: I'm back.

She back hugs Y/N.

Barret: Tifa! Time to celebrate! Break out all the good stuff!

Tifa: Oh, sure.

Cloudia: I'll come help.

Tifa and Cloudia go behind the counter. Barret looks at Y/N.

Barret: We won't be needing you for this next job. Feel free to look for work elsewhere.

Y/N: Fine by me. That's how I like it. No contract, no obligation.

Barret: Figured you'd say that.

He places the money on the table.

Barret: Here, the rest of your payment, along with a little extra for your exemplary service. And thus concludes our business. Gonna have to ask you to leave now. This here's a private affair.

Barret walks away and Jessie runs towards Y/N.

Jessie: Sorry, I tried. We talked it over, but... in the end... We didn't want to put so much on you. This is our fight.

Biggs: Jessie, what's the holdup?

Jessie: Be right there! No hard feelings, huh?

Y/N: It's fine.

Jessie: Let's talk more after I'm done here, okay?

Y/N: Really, it's fine.

Wedge: C'mon, Jessie! I'm dying here!

Jessie: I'll catch you later.

Jessie runs back and everybody cheers, Y/N gets up from his seat but Cloudia grabs his hand.

Cloudia: Are you leaving?

Y/N: You heard your boss, you don't need me on the next job.

Cloudia: Right...

Cloudia lets go of Y/N's hand, and he walks out the door. Y/N walks down the steps as four men walk in front of him.

Hoodlum 1: Hey brother! You from around the way?

Y/N: I guess.

Hoodlum 1: Know a big man with a big gun strapped to his right arm? Heard he's set up shop somewhere in the neighborhood.

Y/N: That depends...

Hoodlum 1: Clever. Smell an opportunity to make some scratch, do ya?

Y/N: Five hundred.

Hoodlum 1: Two hundred.

Y/N: Mm, three.

Hoodlum 1: Whatever, man. Let's find somewhere quiet to talk. Walk with me.

Y/N follows them as there were two men behind him. Y/N follows them up the steps.

Hoodlum 2: Word of advice, H/C. Don't piss off my friend here, or you'll be real sorry.
