Hello world!
We're so close to the end. It saddens me to think there is only one chapter left to this short story. And it all started with the ending of Crisis Core...
Speaking of Crisis Core, I'm playing it again and am on the last chapter again. I swear I'm a masochist but I wanted to get all the materia and finish all the missions.
But, anyhow...Enjoy!
As told, Cloud reported to Sephiroth's office at ten. Sephiroth sat behind his desk, eyes on Cloud. Cloud remained unperturbed as he meet Sephiroth's gaze. A small smile graced his face; almost like a smirk.
"Relax soldier. No need to look so tense. I just want some questions of mine answered." Sephiroth said. He gestured to the plush chair in front of his desk. Cloud took a seat and looked at him, wondering what his questions could be.
"What do you think of me?" he asked.
The question threw Cloud completely off. Cloud, for once wanted to ask if his sanity was in check, but decided against it because from the look of Sephiroth's face he didn't seem aware of his own question. Or that it sounded most unlike him. Cloud took a deep breath.
"I want to be like you. You're strong and don't rely on anyone for help." Whereas I do.
"And Zack?" he inquired.
Cloud thought for a moment. "I can't answer that, sir." He said. Because I can't put into words how I feel about him. Words I wouldn't want to share with you. Cloud stared directly at Sephiroth, hoping he saw the message.
Sephiroth nodded. He was everything but dense or oblivious. He got the message.
"You're dismissed." He said.
Cloud stood up on shaky legs. "Thank you, sir." He saluted and left.
