Every once in a while, someone disappears. No one's safe from that. So let's stop pretending. The lies aren't comforting. They're annoying and pointless.

It doesn’t matter what I choose, does it? One way or another, I’ll be...

It's going to be the right choice. I’ll do whatever you ask of me, so please! Tell me anything, just something. I

Lies can be comforting. [ We like our debates, Kadaj. ]

Your Mother ... I talked to her.

[withoutnobody]

Must be nice to have someone you care about here.

[adventlead]

After a while they can't be.

What about her...? It's nice. I'm going to make her happy someday.

[withoutnobody]

Because you get hard to them?

I bet she'll like that. Does she love you?

[adventlead]

And you realize how pointless they were.

She loves him.

[withoutnobody]

Then you've been lied to and hurt by them before?

"Him"?

[adventlead]

Me? Not at all. I've seen it happen to others, though. They're weaker, and in a place like this people are too selfish to admit the truth.

Sephiroth.

[withoutnobody]

So you buried yourself to prevent the harm done to them.

Sephiroth...? But he doesn't seem all that interested in her. Hm.

[adventlead]

No I didn't. I just hate hearing them.

He should stay the same. If I have my chip out, then I can have our reunion and be the one she wants.

[withoutnobody]

[ L-Laughs. Really, he can't figure you out, Kadaj. ]

You still don't have it out? Hunh. She doesn't want you now?

[adventlead]

What?

I don't know. If I listen to her, my friends will hate me. If I don't, she will.

[withoutnobody]

You can be so cold.

Who has greater value to you?

[adventlead]

I'm not being cold. Lies are never good. Nothing good ever comes out of them.

What kind of question is that?

[withoutnobody]

And what did you say to the people who fell into the lies, only to find pain?

An obvious one. The one that'll decide what you do.

[adventlead]

You deserve it.

I need my chip out first before I consider that.

[withoutnobody]

See? Cold.

Early start never hurt.
