[ sephiroth opened the floor up to that question, so he only has himself to blame.
it never even crossed vincent's mind that he could convince him in one night. his only goal here is to present him with the truth and give him the chance to ponder over it later. but whether he decides to alter his perspective or seek him out again for further detail, it isn't something he is too concerned about.
he is, after all, only here because he feels a sense of obligation to lucrecia and his failure to protect her and her child. ]
[Sephiroth opened the door and walked directly into it. He did not mean to pry into those inner thoughts or even dwell upon how Vincent's question almost sounded like it came from a long dead ghost. But here we are.
And Sephiroth has no one to blame but himself.
The only indication he gives that the words might have triggered something is the abrupt way he turns to walk away.]
We're done here.
[Remember how you didn't want to have that other conversation, Vincent? Sephiroth doesn't want to have this one. And for some reason has the exact same reaction about it.]
[ he presents the next question without faltering, his crimson eyes boring into the younger man's turned back. it seems he's struck a nerve.
whereas sephiroth hadn't let him go, vincent doesn't intend to keep him any longer than necessary. if he wants to end it here, then so be it. he knows that he will be back for more, a sheer inevitability now. after all, they're nowhere close to finish with each other.
it's enough for his inquiry to be the last remnant of the night's discourse, so he doesn't wait for a reply before he disappears into the shadowy depths of the building and out through its doors. when sephiroth is ready to continue, then he can count on the former SOLDIER to track him down, except— he won't be as easy to find the next time around. ]
