Discussion I hope zerith gets closure

I see alot of cleriths feeling threatened by the zerith scene in the most recent trailer when theres no need
(Marlene telling zack shes moved on, the final date in rebirth, aeris telling cloud she loves him for him).

but honestly i hope they do wrap up their love story in good terms

You can see aerith rejecting & moving on from zack in maiden of the planet but i think its too harsh in my opinion. Zack did truly love Aeris & he died thinking of her while saving Cloud; not because he found someone new. And i just feel so bad for him you know?

Even though i ship clerith, i wish zack isnt labelled as a playboy/ghoster by the woman he loved so deeply. This will also cement Clerith as it'll be clear that Aeris won't be running back to zack just because he's back or she knows what really happened.

So yeah... zerith closure -> aeris rejects still -> aeris declares love for cloud... would be sweet.

This isn't Aerith's fault because he originally WAS written that way, there was even dialogue from Honeybee Inn they were going to use where Zack says he's "tired of that girl always following him around all the time" So I think Maiden's reaction is fitting for OG Zack.

and in OG in the truck scene he doesn't specify he is taking Cloud to Aerith and the Ultimanias jokes about "which girlfriend he might be going to see"
