Habit wouldn't be easy to break now. He's been doing it for too long. Maybe one day, if he remained in places where he was as close to normal as anyone could ever hope to be.. like here. With enough time, it wouldn't matter anymore. "It's .. not bad here, at least." His third planet, and he didn't REALLY have complaints, beyond missing his dragon terribly.
And his family. What he'd wanted as his family. Maybe if he'd just had a little more time, he could have found a way to fit with them that wasn't just being a little version of someone else..
The thought is shaken off. He had to focus on what he DID have. And what she said. One day at a time. Maybe things would be alright. For all that he'd been snatched away from what he'd wanted, Gaia had followed. And she'd always been kind. It's tenative, the light squeeze back.
Sephiroth cared, vastly and deeply, but showing it .. saying it .. those were harder. "I still don't know if any of that is true. I don't know what our last two missions had to do with any of that. How does being on a classist train save a universe? Or finding broken pearls in a library?"
Maybe nothing. "This may not even really be a different world at all, since we can't leave the city limits. If we were on the other side of the planet, every star would still be different." But their dragons.. were gone. And the only evidence they existed, that bracelet of gleaming scales.
