Yeah, well, Vincent agrees but the way he's going about it makes Sephiroth ask a lot of questions. Are you gonna tell me what you're keeping from the kid? He's been through a lot.
tbh I'd rather not, it's super personal, but thanks to that jackass we're probably past the point of being able to keep secrets. though for the record it was for Seph's benefit as much as ours
I offered to touch up Vincent's photo only to find out that it actually belongs to Sephiroth. I accompanied him to retrieve them since apparently Vincent shot him and put him in the hospital.
[He hates everything about this whole scenario. So very much.]
sephiroth's from our past. like ten years maybe? not 100% on the timeline. five years before we got here he lost his mind and went on a killing spree. he was stopped, BARELY, and went missing. then under a year ago he came back and tried to destroy the world. he killed aerith. vincent was part of cloud's group, they took him down.
when he first arrived here I had to talk cloud down from doing exactly what vincent did
Okay, I see why you didn't tell him that. But - maybe there's a way to stop him? Maybe that's what he's here for. We've got a couple people like that here, too. They tried to take over our world, killed a bunch of people. But they're not doing that, here. And I think most of them are doing better.
yeah man why do you think we've been giving him space and letting him meet people instead of uhhh chasing him down and stabbing him? or shooting him i guess
we wanted to watch and see how he acted. I've been trying to be his friend. it was better to let him settle in and see how he acts before we told him anything that might screw with his head
oh. we haven't really talked about him much. we were just giving each other space. he and Aerith arent comfortable with him, so I was kind of handling it myself. it's easier for me.
Tell me something I don't know. That's just business as usual.
[Everything shitty gets dumped on him... feels just like home.]
I'm gonna talk to Seph uhhhh after he gets out. let everybody cool the hell down before I drop the bomb I'm still figuring it out. seriously it was REALLY bad and the murder spree was triggered by him finding out about his mom so uh god fuck Vincent he's really put us in a corner here ugh I'm mad all over again
it's messy. he's been told his mom is jenova but jenova is a dead alien psycho who crashed into the planet forever ago and probably wanted to destroy it? so when he found a book about her he connected the dots and started following in mom's footsteps if you get me i never knew he had a photo of some human-looking woman that's news to me bc jenova does not... look like that
No, Vincent told him that was his biological mother, Lucrecia. And someone lied to him which caused all this. It can't have just been over finding out he was an alien, right?
Maybe now that he knows he's human, he won't try to kill anyone.
well i'm sure he'd tell you it was very complicated and deep he researched a whole week before he decided to murder everybody he totally put the work in but yeah it was literally the alien mom thing
idk if he'd be happy to find out she was a mad scientist who experimented on her own baby and injected him with alien shit seph had kind of an existential crisis when he got hints that jenova wasn't human, he didn't think HE was human either it was a weird day
She did what? Okay. Maybe we don't tell him that part. Can we not tell him that part? Or maybe... was he sickly? Was it an experiment to help him heal? I don't like where this is going.
[ Lord he has walked into a whole-ass mess. At least Steve can keep big secrets. ]
[Sorry Steve. Should've just fixed the photo and walked away. Too bad you're the heroic sort.]
far as I know he was fine. just had two asshole scientists as parents. hojo wanted to make the ultimate soldier or ruler of the world or something, no idea what she wanted but she was part of the project just mad scientist things vincent gets super pissed if you badmouth this lucretia chick too probably had the hots for her. or maybe theyre family. secret siblings? w/e I super don't care, she's a monster too
Vincent was pretty strange about Lucrecia, yes. I guess you don't know what the deal is there.
Well, thanks for filling me in. Don't worry, I won't say anything. But the kid's looking for answers. I don't think he's going to stop until he finds them.

Got a few ideas, yeah. It's kind of a delicate situation, though. Not something that we think is safe to tell him yet.

Is he always like that?
no subject
and I have no idea, I never met the guy before this world. I was dead long before he met everyone else
no subject
Does Cloud know?
no subject
me dying = yes
vincent being like that = probably
no subject
If it helps, I'm not trying to leave either. Not because I die.
no subject
yeah? I hope we can both stay, then.

Because that we don't have to tell him, but if it's murder, I'm gonna tell you right now, you don't want him finding out on his own.
