[Cloud hates this. As much as he doesn't want to think about the past, he knows Sephiroth isn't crazy, he isn't trying to burn the world down just to watch it turn to ash. He's... normal. Normal like Cloud is, which is to say, not very normal at all. But he's not murderous. He isn't lost. That's not to say Sephiroth doesn't have it in him to become lost, to manipulate Cloud like a puppet, to tear this world asunder. He just knows not to push him that way.]
No, he's not. [He frowns a little bit and presses his lips together as if that means he won't have to talk anymore. Sadly, that's not how the real world works, not when you're an adult, at least. Not that he feels like an adult, right now. Sephiroth instills a childish fear in him that sits heavily in the pit of his stomach.] Mandalus is... a nexus world. It's at the heart of every universe, every reality. Every time. People come here, at random, from different worlds and times, to fight the war that could destroy every world.
[He glances aside, shaking his head a bit.] You don't wanna know. Let's just say... things take a nosedive pretty soon in your year.
