But he's angry, he hates. He wants out one way or another.]

Then what do you intend to do, Cloud? Are you going to play their game? Become a pawn for a fallen empire still somehow grasping for power? End it Cloud. End this before it turns into something else.

[Because Sephiroth refuses to let himself become another experiment, and if he has to provoke Cloud into not letting that happen so be it.]
