[There were things Sephiroth said to him that didn't make sense at times... But if he were telling the truth that he comes from the future. That would make sense, wouldn't it? That there was more the Cloud couldn't grasp, couldn't understand. And yet there was no way to verify any of this either.]
Don't let Rufus hear you say that. He might get a touchy about it.
[Jokes aside though.]
That means we haven't defeated you, doesn't it? That you're still around somehow.
[Meteor? He'd seen something like that in the Shinra building as part of the tour. But he'd brushed it off as just part of the presentation. At least he thought most of it was. Was the vision of Sephiroth being there some kind of sign?]
How do I know you're telling the truth? Hard to just take your word for it.
Not like it's the first time you've tried to mess with me.
[That's why things felt like a game at times. There's little Sephiroth's done to gain Cloud's trust and simply being on good behavior in Songerien wasn't going to cut it.]

[This is all interesting and could go very many ways, even if it just turns out that Cloud has lost his memories again.]
The Shinra empire falls with Meteor's arrival. No more plates to cover the sky.

[But also, unlike his father, not worth Sephiroth's effort to go murder.]
An empire that crumbled under the weight of Meteor. But you do not fail in saving the planet. As for me ...
[His eyes snap directly to Cloud.]
I will never disappear.

What reason is there to lie about something that has already occurred?

[Except for the time he tried to convince Cloud he wasn't a real person and just a figment created up from Tifa's memories.]
If I were to mess with you, I'd take away all that you've gained in this world.
