This sets off another silent review. As much as he'd like to just dismiss things and focus on the issues at hand - the issue it was about - it was the least he could do to make sure he's as accurate as he could be in his retelling.
"No," he concludes gradually, still ruminating. "Though he did say it wasn't just about Sephiroth, but about how he relates to others and the world around him, and that 'this', whatever it was meant to be, is what he thinks caused Modeoheim." It wasn't the same, at all. At least not to him. The circumstances were vastly different, and this had nothing to do with his then-wish to die. "It's .. some of the same people, in that it involves Zack and I. Sephiroth hadn't been there, and it ... had been selfish of me. Focused on myself." His fear. His worry about what would happen, and how fast it would happen.
Sephiroth had been left behind by all of them except Zack, and apparently that hadn't been enough. "If part of my graduation is making up for what I'd done, then I can't repeat that pattern. It's what caused this in the first place."
