It is cold. It is dark. The vast emptiness of space. First there is one light--then two or three: distant stars burning with so much nothingness between them.
In this darkness, Kadaj and Sephiroth are suspended, floating in space as if it is their natural environment. There is something else there with them, tucked under Kadaj's arm: a black box, though the object might be easy to miss, as there is nothing too extraordinary about it.
The two women's gazes are locked, intent, as if they are engaged in a struggle, but their battle is not a physical one. It is a contest of wills, and they barely move, af first. "It will be better this way," Kadaj says, her voice beginning as a whisper, then rising steadily until it's all but a scream. "We'll be better together. So much stronger. We'll be perfect. You'll see, Sephiroth. It's what Mother would want!"
Kadaj is so close to her and draws closer still, but where their bodies touch, they don't press together. They merge. Sephiroth watches in horror as her limbs and torso begin to fuse with Kadaj's. Kadaj's enjoyment of their union is obvious, almost sexual. She arches her back and moans in pleasure.
Sephiroth recoils, pulling away. Her face twists with confusion and alarm, feelings much stronger and more apparent than those she usually displays. The light in her eyes flickers. "No, no. We're not the same. I am human."
"You're not." Kadaj insists, her fingers on Sephiroth's arm, tugging her nearer again. She doesn't attempt to repeat that act of fusion, but she does lean in to touch her mouth to Sephiroth's neck. She licks at her throat, trying a new tactic. The action is hesitant, her movements jerky, her tongue sliding across Sephiroth's skin in short strokes, as if such intimacy is unfamiliar to her. "I know you want Reunion. You can feel it, can't you?"
In response to this, Sephiroth doesn't give in, but she grows calmer, relents a fraction. Her lips brush the top of Kadaj's head. She murmurs, tenderly, "I can feel it. Just be calm, Kadaj."
