We have a slight problem.

Any further plans of taking out Jenova need to be kept from myself, Sephiroth, Angeal, my boys, Ichigo and possibly Yuffie.

Speaking of- Yuffie, have you been hearing anything strange?

Mm, I gotcha. [Coffee again, now that there's no risk of choking to death.]

[She's just going to shake her head at that.] I hope it hasn't gone too cool for you.

Mm. [Silence.]

Raine...be careful. Kadaj...he can be a little unstable. It would be bad if you somehow got in over your head and ended up hurt.

[She frowns a little, as if recalling something]

... Yes, I know. This experiment isn't helping matters, however.

Believe me, I know. [Cloud sighs, massaging his forehead.] After this is over, I need to talk to him again.

There's still the rest of the week to go. [She shakes her head.]

He'll need the talk, if his actions are any indication.

What? [That grabs his attention.] Why? Did something happen?

[......]

Well. I -- that depends on your definition of 'something'.

[Cloud holds up a hand.] If it's personal, I don't need to know.

[...]

As long as I can trust you to keep it quiet, it's honestly nothing that serious. He's just... very confused.

I won't say anything, but. Again.

We're both adults, honestly.

... In any case, you might be able to help him understand his feelings, since they are new to him. They'll vanish after the experiment is through, but he would still have been introduced to the concept.

I'm working on it. I can't do anything unless he let's me talk to him, and he's got Jenova on one side pouring shit into his head about me being a hateful, evil little son.

You just need to be louder than she is. Or find something else to help influence him.

...that something else could be you.

...

Do you... honestly think that would work?

I don't know. I know that for right now, Kadaj is letting somebody else see a side of him that maybe even I haven't seen. I also know that with Jenova here bullying us both, I can't do everything by myself. He won't listen to just me.

I see...

I suppose it couldn't make things any worse, all things considered.

...the hardest thing will be to get Kadaj to believe that we're not trying to trick him. I... [Cloud pauses; this is always a little awkward.]

...I want to get him away from that. From her.

The problem is that she seems to provide a safe outlet for him, while anything we say would go outside of his box, into the realm of the unknown for him. He's... probably not used to thinking for himself, if it doesn't go along with what he perceives as her will. There is nothing that he sees as ... definite.

Is that a correct assumption?

Mm, as close as I can figure. I don't think I know much more than you. [Cloud sets his mug down on the coffee table and sits back, folding his arms.]

I see... and he's always been like this?

[Cloud shifted his weight, but didn't look away.] ...I only met him a day and a half before I got here. Which was right after I killed him.

[Well that wasn't exactly the answer she was expecting to hear. This experiment, however, doesn't help matters]

... You killed him?
