[She nods. She can understand the importance in holding onto the weight in one's heart. She looks back to the procession before them. Without pressing him further on the matter she can assume that he means to remember the victims of the past as his incentive to do better than he perceives he did last time.

She's much the same way, herself. She's never been one to seek apology. Rather she too wants to remind herself of what needs to be done and make sure it does so.

And in the end, the answer he gives is his own. It's right as long as he believes in it.

She's quiet for a long while before speaking up again.

Just be sure you come back alive yourself. Debts can be paid in blood, but they rarely ever come out even.

Sephiroth | All Open

[It's due to that weight that Sephiroth had taken those words Biggs had put in a certain letter, perhaps more to heart than he would have done if he hadn't gotten involved. Failures, for all they are unacceptable, are indeed best used as tools to improve oneself and this is a concept that he's well-practiced in.

The silence that follows gives the time for the majority of those gathered to follow along with the procession. Leaving the two of them stood alone before the monument of those first four Heroes of Light.]


Don't worry. I don't, by any means, intend to throw my life away as I did such in a certain vision.

[That's not to say that he won't bleed just as much as any of them. At least in battles like this one coming, he has confidence on his side. So far as the goal posts don't change so much, as he half-expects them to.]

WE can wrap this here

[Mary watches Sephiroth's expression after he replies, waiting to see if he cracks. After a moment she gives a satisfied nod.]

That's good. You're too fine a man to lose here and now. And if we're going to stop Palitutu and the Calamity, we need to show her we can do it together, and without sacrifice.

[No matter how badly the odds are stacked against them. And no matter what Kalki suggested. And even if sacrifices did occur, they couldn't be something that they accepted as necessary. Not after what that vision showed them.]
