* While discussing ''Film/WhenHarryMetSally'' in his book ''Movie Megacheese'', Creator/MikeNelson takes issue with Harry's assertion that a man and a woman can't just be friends without the issue of sex getting in the way. Being Mike Nelson, he adds a big dollop of SelfDeprecation when bringing up his own experience with the matter:
--> This is most certainly untrue -- in my pre-marriage days every woman I encountered made it quite clear, either through violent yelling or raucous laughter, that a sexual relationship with me was quite out of the question. We were then free to be platonic friends, provided I made no attempt to write to, call, or contact the lass in any way.

[[spoiler:It's hinted this is because she is aware that she is fated to die at Sephiroth's hands and wants to spare Cloud the grief and heartbreak when it happens.]]
