So he'd be about right then, somewhere between adult and teenager..? I can't judge based on what other worlds are like, I admit.
[There's a lot he could say. That it's a miracle Cloud can string two words together. That it's possible he'll relapse and never come out of it at all, thanks to it being a miracle he ever did in the first place.
What he thinks about Sephiroth's views on Cloud. What he thinks will happen if things go badly.
He doesn't. Though the rest of the reply takes a while to come up with, implying he's at least thinking about a lot of SOMETHING.]
I think it'd always wreck someone.. and the first can be hardest. But I can say with certainty that if Sephiroth is anything like he used to be, then Cloud is never going to be safer than when Sephiroth is with him. His loyalty, once given, was absolute.
[The sound of a slow exhale, almost a sigh.]
All his life he's been expected to fight and kill when told to. He was very good at it. But now, this place has given him something to protect for the first time. I think it'll do him good. Maybe even be the key to getting off the ship.
