[Private to Sephiroth]

Seph? I think we'd better talk.

Strife is on edge. I wouldn't take his words to heart at the moment.

I'd agree with you except that he's making a point you've made yourself.

...I see.

Wouldn't you be annoyed? There's more to me than just my strength, isn't there?

....Right?

Yes, I am rather irritated. You have that affect on people occasionally, Zackary.

...Huh?

I think Strife hit the nail on the head. Unless you are rushing off to save someone, you are perfectly incapable of seeing your own worth.

It is understandable, I suppose. You were so very young when you were accepted into SOLDIER, but that is precisely why the program usually does not take young applicants. They tend place too much importance on the wrong things.

It's not just--

Argh, dammit. It's harder to argue when it's you. It's just so frustrating, Seph... I feel like I should be doing something, even if I'm not fighting. I know I'm no good for that yet. But there's more to me than just a sword, and Cloud won't even give me a chance.

Then perhaps you should have told him that.

He never listens!

Anyway, we're talking after he gets Simon back. I'll try to be patient until then.

...

It must be difficult for you.

I've never been a fan of waiting around. You know that.

You know that is not what I was referring to.

....Yeah.

I'm managing, more or less. I just need to keep busy.

You know that Denzel is without company at the moment. I am looking after him, but from a distance; I believe Strife is aware but has decided not to address it as he hasn't much choice otherwise.

Denzel? Shit, that's right, Tifa was...

Okay. I'll keep an eye on Denzel.

Good. I imagine he'll need the support.

I think we all do.
