It gets pretty annoying, doesn't it? Watching all your efforts. You get ahead, and then you're pushed miles back. I don't want that. I'm not going to just wait for the next disaster, rebuild, and wait some more. I'm not going to settle for it, and neither should others. I'm not going to be a weak brat who only relies on other stronger people

Kadaj.

A part of Mother, a part of me, but still yourself.

[ Sephiroth turned and matched Kadaj's gaze, his wing stretching out and a few black feathers drifting to the ground. ]

With your own abilities and memories to draw from.

Myself.

[ Kadaj stared curiously, eyes a cloudy mix of mako and something alien. His attention momentarily distracted by the movement, he watched the feathers, following them until they reached the end. ]

Will I get a wing too? Will I ever grow to be strong?

You're young. Who knows what will happen when you grow older. You have that time here to find out.

Then I won't disappear. I want a wing. I want one, so I can fly by everyone else's sides. If I'm to become myself, I need one so that I can be around.

Then try for one. Mother had one, did she not? I see no reason why you cannot have one as well.

You're right. I'll get one. By next week Sephiroth, I'll have a wing too.

Oh? Do not try to press it too hard. Sometimes, it will come when it wishes and not because you wish.

[ His wing folded tight against his side and Sephiroth looked at Kadaj with a slight smile. ]

Of course, I do not expect less from you.

I wish it would wish to come soon and not later.

[ He grumbled at first, only to get over it in a millisecond. He balled his hand into a fist in promise. ]

Good. I won't disappoint.
