[Zack is someone she's known her entire time in Adstringendum - both times. Someone close to her.]



[It just can't be.]

His PCD is no longer active. Even if he returns in a week, as you did, he will not remember, as you did not. I am sorry, Usagi.

[Technically, he would remember Sephiroth. But Sephiroth is no longer quite the same man who first arrived in Adstringendum.]

[There's only one thing she can really offer.]

I would not be good company.

[He's well aware that Usagi will be feeling the loss, too. He's also well aware that he is horrible at emotional support.]

[Sorry, Seph, but you get video, as per usual. But at least he's going to cut out the smart ass Just this once.]

A friend?

[Why can you never let him be antisocial in peace? Riku is one of the few people Seph will actually allow video, though. He is working on something, one of the stone pillars at the back of his house. Sephiroth brushes stone chips from a just-finished 'Z'. It also says 'Teial' and 'Usagi'.

A tree isn't lasting enough for him, apparently.]

It's complicated. Zack came here from a time later than I. I believe that I am eventually going to do something to alienate him. But in the time and place that I came from.... He was my friend.

[Because if he did that you'd probably fall so deeply back into your old ways not even he could get you back out.]

I'm sorry.

[He doesn't know what else to say. No matter how many times you experience loss, it always hurts.]

[It's not guaranteed. Entirely.]

As am I. I simply hope that whatever he is returning to on Gaia is kinder to him than being here. [Yeah, he has no idea. Which is sort of tragic.]

[ff_red_turk]

He's where he should be.

[Why no, he is not pretending he doesn't like this either, why do you ask?]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

True, yet unsatisfying. Would you say the same were I to disappear?

[ff_red_turk]

Yes.

[There is no hesitation in Vincent's answer. Because he has hope that one day, the Lifestream will manage to cleanse the Jenova taint from what remains of you in there, and you will find peace.

That, however, has nothing to do with how he would feel if you were to disappear from here, Seph.]

((OOC : These two need to come together and speak about Lucrezia or something.))

[There is a long delay before Sephiroth sends a reply.] Would it be sufficient for dealing with the absence?

I have gathered it to be an appropriate course of action. [And, you know, it's probably better than blowing things up. Probably.]

[text]

[offdutyturk.livejournal.com]

Noted.

[He almost didn't respond with anything, but it seemed appropriate to at least acknowledge it. Especially after what Zack had said of Sephiroth. There wasn't any need to say anything more.]

[And, unsurprisingly, Sephiroth does not see any need to reply.]

[bunny_flower]

I am sorry for your loss, Sephiroth-san.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[bunny_flower]

Is there anything I can do?

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[Be Mom. But he can't ask for that.] I don't know.

Your sentiment is appreciated.

...I see.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, Seph sees no point to replying to that, sorry.]
