Why does Cloud pretend to be Zack?

Cloud acts like Zack because after trauma and Mako poisoning from Shinra experiments, Jenova cells in his body copied Zack Fair's memories, personality, and mannerisms, creating a false persona where Cloud placed himself in Zack's role as a 1st Class SOLDIER, leading to his aloof, tough attitude and headaches when memories conflicted. He adopted Zack's bravado and skills (like the Buster Sword) as a coping mechanism and wish fulfillment, but it was a fractured identity hiding his true, less confident self.

Why did Cloud lie about knowing Zack?
