I think the Seph in your head and the Seph in my head ought to have a natter. See, one of the things the Seph in my head has been undergoing is a rather novel form of therapy, involving Hojo, the top floor of the Shinra tower, a whole bunch of people down in Midgar with Restore and Life materia, and a scientific purpose in mind (namely, discovering whether a human body thrown from the top of the Shinra tower into a random part of Midgar will bounce or splatter). It's certainly done a lot for his stress levels!
[Meanwhile, the Cloud in my head has taken a look down his own pyjama pants, and is feeling quite a bit better about himself, as well as trying to point out that not all of the changes made by the shots are bad, per se.]
