A single thought ran rampant in Kadaj’s mind as he closed his eyes for what he believed to be the final time. The remnant had been Sephiroth’s marionette, whether Kadaj realized it or not. His personal toy to create, play and destroy as he sees fit. The same with Mother. But for him, he just wanted Mother’s happiness, and that is all Jenova ever demanded of him. All he wanted to be complete again, to gain control of the life stream and rid of the cosmos of all its worthless forms.
A strange sense of time passed, and Kadaj was distinctly aware of the two things: A lack of Mother’s presence and Pain. The last thing he remembered was staring up at fragments of himself dissolving into the lifestream. But now it felt as though his body was being crushed by a bed of nails, trapping and hurting him. Still, he laid perfectly motionless, eyes closed until he was reasonably sure he was fully awake.
Then, unexpectedly, Kadaj’s lips quirked in a reluctant smile, a shocked soft chuckle illustrating his disbelief. How amusing! He was still alive - but this was impossible, just some kind of joke, a taunt! It was a hallucination and his mind was playing tricks on him.
There was only one way to be certain. Heavily-lidded, red rimmed eyes drifted open.
