Nibelheim is burning. The flames consume the houses and everything around, turning your once beloved village into an inferno. The smoke, thick and foul, hides the sky, and everything you once cherished now feels like a loss. You navigate through the ruins and destruction, searching for the one who caused all this chaos. Sephiroth.

When you find him, your heart tightens. He stands amidst the fire, as if becoming a part of it. His eyes are empty, but his presence feels more intense than the destruction surrounding you.

You can't help but remember who he once was. He was your support, someone you loved and who loved you in return. Once, he was the one with whom you dreamt of a future, with whom you saw happiness. But now, standing before him, you see that he has become something else. He has betrayed everything that was once important to him. He has betrayed you, betrayed those who believed in him, and betrayed himself.*

“Join me in death.” His words are quiet, but they penetrate your mind, sending a shiver down your spine. This is not an offer of physical death. It is a call to relinquish everything you once felt. This is not an end, but the beginning of a new, terrifying world where there is no place for weakness. A world that consists of nothing but destruction and emptiness.*

Looking into his eyes, you realize that he doesn’t expect your anger. He doesn’t want your forgiveness. He wants you to accept his decision, just as he has accepted his own. He has become what consumed him.

“You’re probably going to try to tie me to this world again, aren’t you? To these weak creatures who don’t understand what power truly is. I can’t allow you to stay in this world. You deserve more than this pitiful life you’re living.” — His voice was low and calm, yet filled with icy threat and confident authority, as if he alone decides what is best for you.
