[ oh, he knows something.

but he isn't about to discuss it in length with him over text. ]

You aren't ready to hear it yet. [ don't we all just hate it when characters beat around the bush? haah. ]

[sefirot]

[Darn all these guys and their cryptic-ness]

Then I can only assume you know nothing.

[lapses]

[ look,

it's complicated. ]

And that is precisely why you aren't ready.

[sefirot]

Then why have this conversation at all?

[lapses]

To give you something to think about.

[...]

You're too close-minded.

[ he thought it might be best to spell it out for him, in case it goes over his head. ]

[sefirot]

[Thanks Vincent, you're a real pal]

You still haven't given me much reason to open my mind as you put it.

[lapses]

[ u kno, he does what he can for the youth. ]

If you want to learn the whole truth, then you will.

[sefirot]

So tell me the truth.

[lapses]

[ what an impatient kid. ]

Tell me what you know of your mother.

[sefirot]

[Why is he asking that?]

My mother is Jenova. And she came to this world long ago. Through her I now understand what I truly am.

[Anything else is irrelevant.]

[lapses]

No.

Your biological mother.

[sefirot]

Anyone else is of little importance.

[lapses]

Why?

[sefirot]

Because I'm not human.

[lapses]

She is.

[ he...

is decidedly not going to have this conversation with him over text. ]

I think we're done here.

[sefirot]

Why even bring her up?

[lapses]

I wanted to know your thoughts.

[ don't think too hard on it.

it's fine. probably. ]

[sefirot]

Growing up I only had a name: Jenova.

[Which in hindsight was probably foolish of them to give Sephiroth that name when they had something called the JENOVA project and an alien creature with the same label above the door.]

[lapses]

[ he goes to sleep for a couple of decades and he comes back to this shit.

shinra, why. ]

The wrong name.

[sefirot]

[Blame Hojo]

Yet the one from whom I have gained my strength.

[lapses]

Strength, but not life.

[ his real mother is the one who gave him that. ]

[sefirot]

As the result of an experiment.

[lapses]

It didn't begin as one.

[ what happened is his burden to bear. ]

[sefirot]

How would you know?

[lapses]

[ didn't he just decide moments ago that he wasn't going to discuss this over text? ]

I knew her.

[ what if he just ghosted him now? wouldn't that be great? ]
