Yeah, we were in SOLDIER together. But he was on a whole other level, even back then. I could hardly keep up.
[ He remembers the feelings of inadequacy, even back then. Remembers Sephiroth being able to casually swat down monsters like flies. ]
But he wasn't like... how you've seen him. He was... I don't know. Normal. Normal enough.[ It's such a strange idea, now. A Sephiroth who was worried about Cloud's safety. About his fatigue. ] He didn't exactly like the attention, but I can't say I blame him. Way everyone was fawning over him when we got to Nibelheim, no one even looked at me.
[ In retrospect, it was stupid. Real stupid. Become a SOLDIER for the glory? Yeah, right. Once you became a SOLDIER, everyone looked at you the same — a mix of pity, awe, or suspicion — depending on where they fell on loyalty to Shinra. ]
So he spent most of the night holed up in his room at the inn, I took a bit of time to take in the sights, and the next morning we made the trek up the mountain.
