I really, really, really loved the letters that they wrote to each other. Did I read that quite right and they wrote each other letters ... when they were in the same place? Not distance letters - just 'things we can't say outloud' letters. Because if that's what you just wrote, I think I'm mildly in love with, well, ALL of that concept (I could ramble about how AWESOME that is but you've heard that sort of thing before from me. Likely several times.)
Also? I loved how much the letters said about them as people; Veld's were so formal. He signed with his initials and his last name! He actually said: "I hope this can help continue our correspondence, as we now have a firmer foundation of understanding. At least that was the intent."
Contrast that to the very last letter (where he signed his name!!) and I can't help but grin a little like an idiot. Oh, she is very good for him indeed.
Favourite image was probably Tifa enjoying the surprised expression on Veld's face.
Two things left very calm thrums on my heartstring. One was the line about Veld walking Felicia to school (the why of it) and the second was Veld explaining things to Tifa on the porch using an image.
(Tifa did the right thing by making a joke.)
Oh, this does make me want to write more of my Veld.Tifa, if only because the stubborn old man really does need someone to shake him every once in a while.

Lovely, as always.
