Prologue

Sephiroth had come home from the hospital only briefly the previous day. Without even much of a glance around for his housemates he'd crossed the familiar threshold feeling an odd sort of deja vu that could only be compared to when one went away for an extended vacation and then returned back to their more permanent abode. 

But really, he knew he hadn't been anywhere, even if his body were still adjusting as if he had been returned from Gaia once more. Exactly like when he had first arrived in Aqures; movement felt sluggish, awareness was blunted. It seemed even breathing seemed to take more effort. Having experienced a 'drop' from mako on previous occasions, though, as well as following some advise from the nurses at the hospital too Sephiroth knew that soon the haze which he currently perceived as a great weakness would lift as if it had never been there. Just as that tell-tale gleam would again fade form his eyes. 

He'd confiscated the bathroom and then, looping his long silver hair -restored in thickness and length- up and around in a loose knot he'd headed out again for the Military Airport where he knew there was work to be done; leaving his leather coat hung on the back of the wardrobe door, the pants neatly folded on the end of his bed and the SOLDIER motif of his belt set atop it as if it were some sort of ritual.

It had been into the early hours of the next morning before Sephiroth had retired home again.

There was a nod, funny, how it had all sounded better in her head before now. Shuffling her feet in a slightly nervous way, Yuna shifted her weight, urging herself to continue. “I… should have told you before now, I know,” her shoulders sunk a little with the confession, but she went on all the same. “It was during a war… between the forces of Chaos and Cosmos. It was where I met you, and Tifa… and even Cloud,” she trailed off a little, memories of fighting the two young men flowing back to her, as well as all of the time she had spent by Tifa’s side.

“But it seems… that I’m the only one that remembers any of it. So it’s all right that you don’t remember. It… might be better that way, even.” Although Yuna’s feelings had always led her to believe that keeping her memories, be they good or bad, was one of the most important things… well, if it gave them a second chance then maybe it wasn’t so bad…

“And I think that… because of that, I misjudged you. So for that – I’m sorry.”

She shook her head at that, "No that's not..." she hadn't meant to paint him as a villain, even though the world had made it look that way. But those that sided with Chaos, she knew now more than ever, that their intentions and their bearings probably had little to do with how, or why, they were chosen.

Yuna looked down, her eyes closing briefly as she made another attempt to gather the thoughts that threatened to come spilling out. "What I mean to say is... I don't think you're a villain at all."

Her uneven eyes rose, soft and trying to understand forces that were beyond her grasp, and his too. "There are still many thins I don't know about that world, or how any of us were chosen, but -- I know that you're a good person. One that tries hard for the sake of others, and who doesn't give up." With a marked pause, she tilted her head just slightly to the side, as though to make an attempt to catch his gaze again. "I don't know what happened in your past, or what might happen in your future but... what I do know is the you of this time. And that person... is someone that has lived up to the title of hero."

There was the smallest of smiles that crept upon her lips at that response. She wondered, or perhaps hoped was more accurate, that she'd gotten through to him somehow. Throughout her time in the war and now with the things she had seen in Crystallis, she was more convinced than ever that Sephiroth was a victim of circumstance -- like many good-hearted people that had found themselves in Chaos' employ.

"A lot of people here believe in you," she continued, "I know I'm not the only one. So please... if nothing else, remember that."

Looking down again, she shook her head, "I'm sorry, I'm sure that hearing all of this from someone that claims to have known you from another time must be strange but I... wanted you to know." She was happy, actually, that she had waited so long to tell him -- now that she had had the chance to shape her own opinions of the tall man that stood before her.
