I won't return your powers right away. I'm sure you can understand why, especially given that some of the inmates, upon regaining their powers from the fluctuations, immediately attacked others.
However, I meant what I said. I really have no strong opinion on whether inmates should have their powers or not, much less whether you specifically should have yours.
That's good to know, but please allow me to clarify. I didn't mean to say you would use them for that. Only that I don't know you or your abilities, so it would be reckless to return them immediately.
Well, usually someone wouldn't destroy a place, even if they could, if that place still had something they wanted. But I also don't think a warden's fear is a good reason to keep your powers from you if having them back might help you graduate.
What was the weapon you had access to? [ Just curious. ]
If the sword is uniquely yours, it's understandable that you would want it back.
But have you considered that having your weapon and your abilities taken, rightly or wrongly, is an opportunity to reflect on who you are without them?
I've been in the lifestream a few times. It is no less than living, except no physical connection to the planet. In some ways more freeing than being alive.
Of course, death for me is not the same as death for others. My essence did not join up with the planet and I exist regardless of having a physical body.

[ He also wants to try and actually get to know Sephiroth a little bit. ]
... I was also thinking we could perhaps meet in person next time to discuss these matters further.

I would appreciate it.
[ Kirei apparently makes a very mild-mannered warden, at least. ]
Well. It's been a pleasure, Mister Sephiroth.

I imagine you'll contact me again when you wish to meet.

[ He plans to give Sephiroth a week or so before poking at him again. ]
And if there's anything else, aside from your powers, that you need in the meantime, please feel free to contact me as well.

My weapon of choice is something else I desire, but I doubt that you'd be willing to offer that either.

Do you think having your weapon and your powers back will help you?
Or do you just want them because they're yours?

I don't make decisions based on principles without first attempting to understand the risks and benefits.

Three individuals over the years.
It is not the same.

As for whether being dead for five years does the same thing - I wouldn't know since I've never been dead for any length of time.
