Pretty good chance if we're stuck here for a few weeks I'm going to become a lot less nice to be around. Shoot me, make sure it's cleaned up well. When we're back onboard the Barge I'll make you something nice as a thanks.
The Admiral's restrictions are lifted. For me, that means sooner or later degradation's probably going to set back in. I kept my mind before more or less but that's not standard. Aggression, violence and mutation is.
[It's like finding out your terminal disease has come back, he doesn't sound very happy about it at all.]
I should have time. Weeks, months. I'll handle it myself if I realize it's happening, but if I don't, a sniper's got the best chance of getting it done without being torn apart in the process.
[There's a sigh from the other side, it might be .. relief? Maybe- plenty of people would argue against it. Some could be forced into it anyway, but there was a certain level of professionalism he expected of a Turk.]
Mental decline, impaired judgment. .. Feathers. It'd be a good idea to treat anything of mine as if it's highly contagious. Hair, blood, feather. So long as I'm clearheaded I can clean up after myself.

Any signs?

Black feathers?

Mine.. were white.

....Sephiroth's were black too.
[ The color of wings seems to have nothing to do with strain. But does that mean it has anything to do with anything at all? ]
I'll make sure you don't suffer long if it comes to that.

No. Of course he would. We're all monsters, in the end.
[There's no escaping it, is there? And they'd never even put a thought to the one being left behind.]
...Thank you. With luck it won't become an issue. Our ten day wait for repairs can't be much longer.

It's not so long ago he was in Angeal's place. In another way, other circumstances. But it's like a shadow with a familiar shape.
Ten days. If everything is on the up and up.
One last thing comes, after a lengthy pause. ]
...If you ever want to talk about monsters, come find me. I promise to be a good listener.
