Welcome to my nightmare

[imjustaman]

The video feed switches on to a very handsome man with knee-length silver hair, black leather clothes, and the weight of the world in his green eyes. He looks and sounds devastated as he speaks.

"This is all my fault," he says, his voice deep and rich. "I wanted a power that would help me regain my sanity. I never expected anything like this to happen. When I found what I wanted and it activated, it had the side effect of tearing holes in the space-time continuum and bringing all of you here. I will do everything I can to fix this and send all of you home, but I don't know how long it will take. I am so sorry. Be as angry with me as you want. I deserve it."

He reaches to switch off the video.

Hopefully he will have some answers.

... How is Cloud?

[maternalheart]

I hope he does too.

[She's surprised by this question.] ...He's doing well. I haven't seen him for a few days though.

[imjustaman]

[Sephiroth will likely never tell that caring about Cloud was a large part of why he went seeking that orb.]

He's trying to help people who ended up here?

[He hopes Cloud didn't leave brooding again.]

[maternalheart]

To the best of his abilities. He'll be okay, I promise. [Tifa has good intuition, she can tell he cares for Cloud, but she doesn't understand to what extent.]

[imjustaman]

I know he will be. He does well with helping others. That seems to make him come alive the most.

[maternalheart]

[Tifa is weirded out that Sephiroth knows that about Cloud, at least the current Cloud. She nods.] Yeah, he usually does well but needs breaks. He likes alone time.

[imjustaman]

[Sephiroth can see in Tifa's eyes that she is weirded out and sighs to himself. Another mistake....]

I imagine everyone does, sometime.

I apologize if I've made you uncomfortable again.
