The Denzel Cloud speaks of is one of the orphans Tifa is currently caring for.

It was a child with reddish-brown hair and a handsome face. He was supposed to be the most active and active age, but he was lying on the bed because of astral syndrome, his whole face wrinkled in pain.

He was taken care of by a little brown-haired girl wearing a red bow.

Seeing Claude push the door in, the little girl jumped up and rushed over: "Claude!"

"Marlene." Claude picked up the little girl and held it high.

In this way, the little girl with the red bow passed over Cloud's head, and saw Tifa behind him and...

Marlene suddenly grabbed Claude's arm tightly, and her whole body curled up: "Claude, Tifa?!"

Claude quickly comforted her: "It's okay, Marlene, Sephiroth is here to help treat Denzel."

Even though he said so, and held the little girl in his arms, Ma Lin couldn't help but tremble a little.Especially when the tall, silver-haired young man glanced at her, in the faint glance of those blue-green vertical pupils, Ma Lin couldn't help but shrink into Claude's arms, holding his shoulders tightly with both hands on the armor.

Seeing this, Tifa thoughtfully stood between the little girl and Sephiroth, and extended her hand to invite the latter: "Please come in."

Sephiroth accepted her kindness, gave her a slight nod, walked to the bed and leaned over to check.

Denzel's star scar is on his forehead, and he has to part his bangs to see it.

The color of the scar was already very dark, and the area was not small, and the temperature of the skin under the palm was astonishingly hot.Before Sephiroth and others came in, Marlene was cooling the child with a wet towel.

When Claude saw that Sephiroth just stared at the blackness and remained silent, he suddenly became nervous, hugged Marlene and walked to the bedside and asked in a low voice, "Is there any problem?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Sephiroth returned to his senses, and his fingers wrapped in black leather gloves tapped on the black scar, "I just... determined something."

It was the first time he treated Claude before, and he didn't pay attention to it. Now that he has observed the child closely, Sephiroth can confirm that the scars of the so-called Starscar Syndrome are indeed Jenova's cells.

The activity and mental fluctuations of these cells are exactly the same as those in Sephiroth's body. The difference is that those in Sephiroth's body can be controlled by himself, while those in this child and Claude cannot control themselves.This led to the rejection of the Jenova cells and the normal immune system in the two people. The so-called star mark syndrome is actually the human body trying to excrete the Jenova cells in the body.

According to Claude, the star mark syndrome happened two years ago, so there must be some opportunity to cause these Jenova cells to enter the body of normal people.

Controlling Jenova cells is already a breeze for Sephiroth today, even if these Jenova cells reside in other people's bodies.

Soon, the black scar on Denzel's forehead quickly faded under the worried gaze of the three of Tifa, and Denzel's own groaning sound also continued to decrease and slow down, so that it finally disappeared together with the traces of Starscar Syndrome .

When he opened his eyes, he just saw a wide palm wearing a black leather glove leaving the top of his head, and then the silver light flashed and then went black in front of his eyes - Marlene rushed forward heavily:

"Denzel! You're okay! That's great!"

"Marlene...Tifa..."

The little boy hadn't fully recovered from the pain just now, and looked blankly at the two relatives who were leaning over, while Claude had already walked out of the room under Sephiroth's signal.

It wasn't until standing in the corridor outside that Sephiroth asked, "What happened two years ago?"

On the way to Midgar, Claude has always been vague about what happened two years ago, so that Sephiroth only knows that a huge catastrophe happened two years ago, which led to the destruction of the Shinra Building , Shinra Corporation fell apart, and the Mako city of Midgar was also severely damaged, and even the mining of Mako all over the world was temporarily stopped.

As for what happened to lead to these results, Claude never spoke out.

Now, facing Sephiroth's question, the blond youth took a deep breath, and the joy of seeing Denzel heal just now disappeared from his face without a trace.

"...Sephiroth," after a few seconds of silence, Claude made up his mind to speak, "How much do you remember?"

"...I only know about my life experience, Hojo's experiment, you and Zack's escape." Sephiroth lowered his eyes and looked to the other side of the corridor. His thick eyelashes just rightly covered all the expressions in his eyes , "Is Zack dead?"

"You still remember Zack." Cloud murmured, as if answering Sephiroth's words, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Since you still remember Zack, why did you mention him so... …indifferent?"

After a pause, Claude raised his voice slightly, with a questioning tone in his tone.

Sephiroth turned his eyes, looked at him, tapped his head with his hand, and smiled bitterly: "Because I only remember such a person."

"Just like I remember, before Zacks, Angel and Genesis were the 1st special forces. I know the existence of these people, but what kind of people are they and what is their relationship with me? I don't remember anything."

Sephiroth said softly, half-closed his eyes again: "Even I know that Miss Tifa's hometown was destroyed in my hands, but how it was destroyed, I also..."

"You set a fire and burned the village down!" The wooden door next to it creaked suddenly, and someone pushed it open from inside.Tifa came out from inside, stared at Sephiroth and said coldly.

However, after she came out, she immediately closed the wooden door behind her again, as if she didn't want the conversation between the three of them to be heard in the room inside and be heard by the two children in the room.

In fact, if you listen carefully, you can hear the crying in the black-haired girl's voice.

If you look closely, you can see the tears in her eyes.

"You killed the whole village with that weapon, and then set fire to Nibelheim Village. Then you went to Shinra's base to cut off the monster's head and take it away. Zack wanted to stop you, But I was also hurt by you." Tifa clenched her fists and bravely looked at Sephiroth, tears welling up in her eyes, "Zack respects you so much, he looked at you when he first arrived in the village Eyes are glowing, just like Claude, but you..."

"Tifa." Cloud lowered his head and called softly.

Not much sound.

But it was this soft and small call that made Tifa stop suddenly, take a deep breath, and turn her head away.

The moment she tilted her head, Sephiroth clearly saw two lines of tears sliding down the woman's cheeks.

After all, explanations in black and white are not as good as personal experience, or even as people who have experienced it tell in front of themselves.

Although those people were not killed by Sephiroth, the one who killed them was himself in this world...

In other words, it was indeed the hero Sephiroth who killed them.

Nibelheim Village is also Claude's hometown, and his relatives also died in the fire.

Sephiroth turned his head sideways to look at the blond young man, and from those pupils of similar color, he saw strong sadness, pain, nostalgia... just no hatred.

"Don't you hate me?" Sephiroth suddenly asked Claude.

This sentence not only stunned Cloud, but even Tifa turned her head suddenly, her beautiful almond eyes glared at Sephiroth with tears in her eyes.

"...I..." Claude frowned, his eyes wandered, and his eyes were depressed, "I don't know..."

He muttered to himself.

"I don't know... I should hate you but..."

In fact, before this reunion, Claude had always hated Sephiroth, the hero he admired and admired the most.

Because of Sephiroth, the village of Nibelheim was destroyed.

Alice died because of Sephiroth.

Because of Sephiroth, the people on this planet are suffering from Starscar Syndrome and are suffering so much...

But... After meeting Sephiroth, who had lost his memory, Claude suddenly realized that he no longer knew how to hate the person in front of him.

He didn't even look as mad as when he later announced his intention to destroy humanity, more like when he first went to Nibelheim Village.

Whether it's his appearance or his eyes.

At that time, Sephiroth was still a hero of Shinra, an object of worship by teenagers all over the planet, and a person whom Claude regarded as a role model and benchmark.

At that time, Sephiroth, who had just entered the village, was welcomed by the whole village. The people in Nibelheim Village wanted to get close to the hero and talk to him, but they were too embarrassed to go forward.

Sephiroth at that time, just like the term "hero" itself, was brilliant without any blemishes.

And these... are just illusions created by Shinra...

It is a business strategy to attract people from all over the planet to Shinra to become soldiers.

As for what kind of person the real Sephiroth is?

Claude suddenly found that no one knew.

Everyone, including himself, thought Sephiroth was a hero, and later this hero became the devil who wanted to destroy the world.

As for what happened to Sephiroth himself under this level of heroes, no one could say for sure.

Suddenly, Claude suddenly remembered something.

That was seven years ago, when I was just a Shinra soldier.

At that time, Claude and other colleagues followed Sephiroth and Zacks in 1st to Nibelheim to investigate according to the company's regulations. After entering Nibelheim Village, Sephiroth once said to them: "Now that you're back in your hometown, go see your relatives."

When he said this, the silver-haired young man didn't look back, so that until now Claude didn't know what Sephiroth's expression was.

He only remembered... When they first arrived at Nibelheim Village, Sephiroth stood at the entrance of the village and said that he had no hometown and didn't know what it was like to return to his hometown.

"Sephiroth."

It wasn't until those turquoise pupils looked over questioningly that Claude realized that he accidentally blurted out this person's name.

Facing the double gaze of Sephiroth and Tifa, Cloud was speechless for a while, because he didn't know what he wanted to say.In the end, he just forced himself to say calmly: "If you still want to destroy this world, I will continue to stop you!"

Watching Sephiroth raise his eyebrows, Claude was calm on the face, but covered his face with a wailing in his heart:

What the hell is he talking about? !
