Perhaps you are right. Perhaps I did cause you to become what you were. But you know what? I don't care. I lived my life how I wanted. If you don't like it, my dear boy, then you can live with it. Oh, perhaps that was the wrong choice of words. But I really don't care.

You are the monster.

Yes, son, you are a monster. Yes, I did create you. But I can find the forgiveness that you can't. So therefore I must laugh at you. People can forgive me, since I did not actually kill people...well, aside for science. But that is a whole new matter. Science is what gave me my RIGHT to hurt people. You had no excuse. So once more I laugh.

You do deserve thier scorn.

Killers are menaces, and you were the worst, my darling son. You are the one who murdered so many people while they slept. You were possessed by the demon that I uncovered, dear boy, you let Jenova take over. Ha. Ha ha ha. Oh, It just thrills me so much to see how my experiment succeeded!

You created yourself.

The real true menace is you. So what if you lost your mind, it wasn't my fault. Or maybe it was, but I'm not taking responsibily for it. You gotta learn to live with your actions, Sephiroth. I won't take responsibily. You knew better. Surely I raised you better than that!

You are a monster, you deserve thier scorn, because you created yourself.

You created yourself. You did, you did, you did! You're the one that allowed yourself to get possessed by my experiment...but look at it this way- At least you were famous! And as for the pain. Ha. I thought I raised you to ignore pain. Well I guess not. Damn, I must have been a bad parent. Oh well.

You carry the blame.

As for the people you killed, get over it! Science my boy, science. And also, that 'love' you speak of, if it was that Cetra girl, Aerbitch, or whatever her name was, I will hunt you down and shoot you. My son should never fall for someone like that. A speciman, that is all she was.

You payed for you own sins.

Pain pain pain. Is that all you think about? Argh, so immature you are, my boy, so immature. Pain is merely a thought. Mind over matter, I say. Now, on to the part about killing me...you should have tried. Then I would have shown you what pain REALLY was. Ha. You still wouldn't be resting peacefully.

Your life was taken from you.

I did NOT kill you! That idiot puppet Cloud did! So get over it! You're dead now, and I'm happy, so just like..fade away into nothingness or something. I don't care what, so just, like...go away forever. Leave me alone. Life with your reputation. You brought it on yourself.

You carry the blame, you payed for your sins as your life was taken from you.

Yes, Sephiroth. You are my son. But I don't really give a flying rat's ass. An experiment. That's all. So I don't really care. I wasn't obsessed with power, I was consumed by it. But it still wasn't my fault.
