Epilogue
Cloud returned to school soon after the whole entire event and everything returned to its normal schedule. Cloud went to school and then returned home before doing his midnight job as an assassin.
Sephiroth quit school and went to the company full time since he had a higher level of education then everyone else around him. He met Cloud every other day sand they would always spend time together.
A few years after Cloud's memory had returned, Cloud moved in with Sephiroth and Angel was extremely glad for the extra company.
About 20 years later, Hojo died in a hospital after many years of continuous torture under Lucifer's curse. There was also the fact that he had to also live in shame because his misdeeds had been discovered by the police. The only upside to the whole situation was that they couldn't hail him off to jail because of his severe and painful illness. In the end, Hojo died in the most painful way someone could image without including murder. His lungs shut down and he slowly suffocated to death.
Just like Cloud predicted, he never really did see his great grandfather again, but he could somehow always feel the other's presence watching him. There was also the fact that he never chose to release the seal when his time of death approached, though his aging process was still slow. When he died, he simply looked 40 instead of his real age which was 108. Sephiroth died at age 90 and the company was passed down to the children that the couple had adopted. Sephiroth died an old looking man, but he was still considered more beautiful than others. Even if his appearance was that of an old man, Cloud continued to love him until the end of his own days. When Sephiroth died, Cloud spent most of his days at his lover's grave, gazing at the sky.
Angel died about five years after Sephiroth. She continuously took care of Cloud even though he told her that it wasn't necessary and that he should be the one taking care of her instead because he was healthier than any man alive because of his demon ancestry. When Angel died, Red XIII, who seemed to have a long lifespan as well, kept the ex-assassin company. His other friends had already passed on into the afterlife.
When Cloud finally died, Red XIII moved on to live with Cloud's foster children and continued to look after each generation until he too died of old age.
About a hundred years after Cloud's death, a dark haired man approached his grave with two bouquets of flowers.
"It's been a long time," he stated. He looked at the engraved words on the tombstone with his red colored eyes. Lucifer deposited one of the bouquets on the grave and then looked at the tombstone engraving.

Goodbye to those
Who cared for me
Lucifer looked at the grave beside it.
Sephiroth Mako
2006-2096
I'm going on ahead Cloud
So don't make me wait long
Lucifer placed the other bouquet on Sephiroth's grave and then smiled.
"Thanks for taking care of him. I guess that everyone can avoid making the same mistake again," he whispered. He turned his back to the graves and began to walk away. There was a smile on his face.
