[Although lacking in all the beauty of the Forgotten Capital, the Flooded Ruins still share many similarities which are ideal in Yazoo's opinion. The ruins are far enough from the town and its interlopers so as to allow a semblance of privacy; they are large enough, providing all the space necessary for Reunion; and they possess water in copious amounts, a means for Mother's memetic legacy to be passed on to others. While they may not be pretty... they are sufficient enough to fulfill the purpose he has in mind for them.
In fact, it's almost perfect... except for what that Turk woman said, that his brothers are not here, and that Mother isn't...
No.
It doesn't matter what she says. He still has a mission, and so long as he exists he must follow Mother's orders. Her will, after all, is why he and his brothers exist. If Shinra tries to interfere, or Cloud, or any of the others... he'll deal with them, then.
As he makes his way across a stone walkway surrounded by water on either side, listening to the drip-drip that echoes a way off, he promises under his breath... that they will not fail Mother this time.
Never again.]
