That is probably for the best. As that would start some sort of argument. Jenova is the one piece of family that he has left to cling to. Even if on many levels she was just a dead hunk of cells that were mixed into his as he grew and developed.

When did this conversation turn around to Cloud trying to reason with him so much? Another sigh.

Even if he wants to argue, Cloud isn't exactly wrong. He did so well because that is what he wanted. He enjoyed being the hero. Sharping his skills with the sword. Even the time spent with the other 1sts. Despite all the secret underhanded ways of Shinra they did help a lot of people over the years.

"Yes. I wanted to be a hero."
