Whatever it is, surely it can wait? [Sigh.] Fine. If it is truly so important, leave a message and I will get back to you.

He's back. Sephiroth.

argentcruelty February 8 2011, 20:43:58 UTC

You mean how your hair is different to your brother's. [A pause.] Did you dye yours?

ysobritish February 8 2011, 20:45:17 UTC

Not initially. It bleached naturally. But... I do touch it up on occasion, yes. There's not nearly enough sun here to keep it bleached.

argentcruelty February 9 2011, 03:41:43 UTC

To look different?

ysobritish February 9 2011, 14:18:16 UTC

Partly. Partly it's vanity, more than anything. I like being blond.

argentcruelty February 10 2011, 23:33:58 UTC

[And now he's thinking about stuff he'd never really though about before. Again. Damn you people.]

I never cared about looking like my brothers. That's just how it was. How it was supposed to be, I guess. I knew we probably looked like him, but...

ysobritish February 11 2011, 00:49:17 UTC

Then what's changed, Kadaj? Kadaj is Kadaj, and once you take the time, you'll see you're not identical to him.

argentcruelty February 13 2011, 00:19:21 UTC

[There's a length of silence before he replies.]

You know what it felt like, bringing him back? It felt like I stopped existing. I couldn't tell where he ended and I began. There was just him. It was his body. His mind. Everything belonged to him, and I was just a tiny piece of it.

When he came here last time, it felt a lot like that. Like Reunion. It was like... I could get lost in his mind. Like a piece of him was all I was.

I'm- [I'm afraid.] ...I don't want it to happen again.

ysobritish February 13 2011, 00:22:00 UTC

[That was what it felt like? This "Reunion"? It was terrible and frightening and-

Kadaj could not be subjected to that again.]

Then don't let it.

[Or he'll take on Sephiroth himself.]

You're more than just a piece of him. You have thoughts, feelings, desires of your own. Don't let him consume you.

argentcruelty March 6 2011, 13:12:56 UTC

And what if he does? What if I can't stop him? I don't know-

[What would he even be able to do about it? If he brought about Reunion again, it was over... at least until Sephiroth was killed. And then he would die, too. Just like before.]

...I don't know if I can stop him.

ysobritish March 6 2011, 15:44:58 UTC

"What if" someone drops a nuke on this town and wipes everyone out but you? If you keep worrying about the "what if"s, you're going to drive yourself mad.

...

You're strong, Kadaj. There must be a way.
