All this talk of Sephiroth lately... it's disturbing.
It was well enough that he had disappeared. And even before, when he was here, I never ran into him. Thankfully. But now he's returned and again the effort must be made.
But I'm torn between two different views on the matter. Perhaps I don't have to make the effort? None of us? This thing with him being "sane" and before his run-in with Jenova, his would-be mother. That is a good thing. So I would like to believe. On the one hand it is good for him to be this way. He was a hero. Or so I've been told. I never cared for human affairs, not outside of my beloved canyon.
So is it possible that he could be "good"? That he is in fact sane, and there is no reason to fear him? That would be nice.
Yet I despise him. He wanted to hurt the planet. Destroy it even, possibly. But just hurting it... on that magnitude... [a low growl] ...I could never forgive anyone of that! My kind are protectors of the planet! I could not--I would not--I can not even bare the thought of that happening! I could, and would not allow it to happen!
[a pause; he calms down]
But if it is truly as they say... that he his sane and no threat to anyone... at least without provocation... then how can I continue to hate him? How could I deny him the chance for a normal life? A second chance... With no one here to ruin it... no one that is here, not even, or perhaps even especially, Shinra would wish it to be otherwise, if only so they did not have to fear harm from him. Paradisa may have actually done something wonderful for someone for once in a change. So then... what am I to do? How am I to feel?
I don't know. And it bothers me.
