But then again, so did that other girl... huh.
"If you don't mind." He replied politely, crimson eyes blank but somehow also looking... sincere. He wasn't sure how or why it happened. It just did. "I did promise you, after all. ...especially after my vanishing act there." Which hadn't even been his fault, so there was truly nothing to apologize for. If anything, he wanted to break free of his prison and just assure everyone to not panic over something to insignificant.

"Of course I don't, please come in." Slowly she moved to the side to allow him to get inside the suite "Well I appreciate that you kept your promise, as for your disappearing act..." Lightly she bit her lower lip while trying to think on what to say about that "...well you're alright now, right?"

Mentally? Not so much. His inability to assist when people needed the help most was a heavy burden. So many close friends gone and lost in such a short time that... it was like his first arrival into this place.
He sat on a nearby couch. "...so-so." He replied honestly.

With a barely there wince the sorceress walked to the couch and sat beside him, she really didn't thought that would bring trouble or anything "So-so? What else is bothering you?"

"It's not anyone's concern." He said simply, easily keeping the guilt out of his tone. How could he, when emotions nowadays were so weak and fleeting? Becoming nothing but a hollow shell, a lifeless being inside... sometimes it had its advantages. Like keeping the truth from people. It made it easier. "I'm more concerned about how everyone else has been doing. I heard the city tore itself apart while I was away."
New monsters, new crabs, oragnizations...
Finally, some action.

Getting locked in that basement was turning out to be his own fault. Not being careful enough, and being idiotic enough to allow the crabs to overwhelm him down there. It was nothing short of a miracle that he'd suffered no bites at all, but it had only been a matter of time before he did. He grew weak, he was helpless... he hadn't faced this at all after dying the first time. Especially here, he needed to work on his own endurance if any of his abilities were sealed.
"I know about the crabs, at least." The red-cloaked man nodded once. "They almost killed me down there. It just... they changed. I... was having trouble taking them out."
There. He'd said it.

But... a particular reason to keep living? Here? Lucrecia, Loz, Yazoo, and so many others... they were all gone. Not here and unable to watch and protect them. Sephiroth still was, but...
He wanted to protect him? Maybe Tifa had been right all along ( ... )

That made Rinoa think for a bit if the corruption of the sorceress power also varied from sorceress to sorceress, maybe some where more susceptible to become evil than others and she wondered how long the sorceress without knights managed to last before breaking down and turn evil? How much time did she have before she went down the same path ( ... )

Or did he just want himself to believe that?
He struggled with it everyday, how... different things could have been if he had made a difference in changing Sephiroth's life for the better. A way for him to have been born and not corrupted by an alien virus... a way of saving Lucrecia from destroying herself. He knew the answer to calming his frustrations at least; wait until Hojo showed up and snap his neck. That was all ( ... )
