"What happens, I wonder-" Sephiroth had landed after his Supernova, crashed to a knee close to the edge of the platform but then Jade's Curaga had caught him; still he remained on one knee as he carefully regarded Kalki's dead body and that ominously glowing black crystal. It took him a few moments but soon he was ready to haul himself back to his feet and tuck his long sword back along the outside edge of his arm.
"-to the soul of an Avatar of the Calamity once the Vessel is deceased. Provided that it has one at all."
Kalki had once been a Hero of Light, with a crystal containing the sum of all her past, present and future. Just like them. One might call it, that the crystal itself were a manifestation of the 'soul' of that individual, should such a thing exist in anyway that could be measured. When Kalki's original cycle of Heroes had failed, surely she lost that which truly kept her, as herself? Just as his doppelganger had been recycled.
He joined the others in gazing -not so close- cautiously as the black crystal continued to gleam as it lay on the floor emanating that darkness without any sign of giving out. Clearly Kalki had managed to use it to do something which they were still waiting for the result of, something potentially that might well have required her sacrifice, now given.
"We can't very well leave-" Blink. A quick glance back over his shoulder, passed other Heroes and to the stairwell that had also re-appeared on the opposite side of the platform from where most were. There was the exit, that even he felt a significant tug towards now that the battles were apparently over. Or perhaps that was something else pinging at his instincts to run...
"-wait."
He turned without much pause at all and began urgently striding across the platform towards those stairs. Moogles are experts in crystal-handling. If that barrier that had separated them were down now...he wouldn't put Spencer in such risk but there are others who were far more experienced with such matters.
