Chapter 3
Shinra's new saving policy:
-Remember to turn off the lights when you leave your office
-No cars for unofficial use
-Do not ask new batteries for radiophones after every mission
Remember,you're fighting for the future of Shinra!
Sephiroth turned his eyes off the list.Because of Shinra's new saving policy Asner was lying in
hospital with his left hand amputated and Peste was dead.So were the soldiers who were with them
in that mission.Peste had tried to inform them,that they needed desperate help and the enemies had
surrounded them at the coast,with his radiophone,but the batteries were dead.
He crumbled the list in his hands and threw it in a trash can next to the hospital's entrance.The
wind had calmed down,but it was still raining heavily.Sephiroth walked inside and took an elevator
to 4th floor where Asner was.There a doctor told him that Asner's state was now stable and Sephiroth
could go see him.With his hands shaking a bit,he opened the door to Asner's room.
Asner:Sephiroth...
Sephiroth:Hey.You got wounded pretty bad.
Asner:I've lost my left hand and I've got a scar in my back and it's aching like a devil would be
biting it.Yeah,you could say that.
Sephiroth:Sorry...
Asner:Someone dropped by and told me that it was all Shinra's fault that this happened.
Sephiroth:You're not coming back to Shinra,huh?
Asner:I don't know what I'm going to do.Maybe I'll go travelling...come with me!
Sephiroth:No...I don't think that I want to...
Asner:So they've brainwashed you.Well,be their slave!
Sephiroth:Asner...
Asner:Get out.I want to be alone.
Sephiroth went back to the rainy streets feeling a little guilty.Was it true that he had been
brainwashed?Maybe not,but why did he continue with Shinra?Shinra was bad,right?
Questions with no answers.He was going to have something to eat in a wutain fast food-place,but the
angry looks in their eyes turned him away.He remembered swearing that he would never regret anything
he would do,but now he regretted.He had always enjoyed to be neutral about everything,but now people
either praised or hated him.
A gang of wutains with baseball bats had been following Sephiroth to the lonely,dark streets where
he was now.
Wutain man:Stop,you filthy animal!We are going to revenge you!
Sephiroth:You try to revenge me.I'll end up taking your life.Someone tries to revenge for you,but
they'll fall,too.If I have led my squad through Wutai and returned,what chances do you have against
me with your baseball bats?
The wutains quickly lost their confidence and escaped.They saved their lives,because pure rage
against skills isn't always victorious.
Sephiroth turned to an alley and opened the backdoor to a dark building.Going by an elevator that
was located right next to the backdoor would save him from a conversation with the lady from 3th
floor.
For a praised hero,his apartment was something you wouldn't except to see.A small bedroom right
opposite the front door,a small kitchen,WC and a messy living room.Sephiroth opened his fridge door
and took a few bottles of beer and cooked some noodle soup.Then he took a comfortable position on
his sofa and switched on the TV.It was thursday and his favourite shows.
He thought a bit about what Asner had said but was too tired to bother himself with that.After a few
bottles of beer and the noodle soup that was just as hot as he wanted it to be,he fell asleep.He
would get enough sleep before the next day at Shinra...
