Imaginary Friend
Sephiroth was never a normal child.
In fact, you could say he never was a child.
He was never allowed to be a child.
Hojo made him to be the perfect son. The perfect puppet. The perfect soldier. The perfect General. Ever flawless, never faltering.
So it came as a surprise when he’s developed an imaginary friend. To say Hojo was perplexed was an understatement. He was livid. Sephiroth had not been exposed to any form of fictional works, nor the concept of an imaginary friend (or what a friend even is).
The mad scientist purged his employees. All nurses, doctors, assistants, and even janitorial and guard staff were interrogated. It wont do for a God to have something as childish as an imaginary friend. He fired those that have shown any unnecessary kindness to Sephiroth, and ‘fired’ those that have records of actively trying to treat him like a normal child. (As if a God would need to be treated like a lowly common child)
It all started with a question.
“Doctor, is he the new guard?” Sephiroth asked from behind Hojo.
Hojo had vaguely remember asking for additional security. With Lucrecia’s previous fling nearly killing him, and Gast’s near successful defection, he thought it was necessary. However when he turned to look, he could see no one.
“Boy, are you trying to purposefully fool me?” Hojo said with malignant eyes. His icy tone alone made Sephiroth writhe in panic.
Sephiroth started to hyperventilate. What had he done wrong? Was he not supposed to ask questions? He wasn’t trying to fool Hojo. Then why.
Hojo slowly approached. A large glowing syringe in one hand. The other, tightening the bands holding Sephiroth down on the cold, steel table.
“Do not” Hojo stabbed the syringe into Sephiroth, purposefully hurting the boy, “do that” he began injecting the liquid, making Sephiroth thrash in pain “ever again”
Sephiroth started screaming. Whatever the good doctor had done to him hurt. Everything Hojo did to him always hurt. But this hurt much more so. His limbs tries to thrash, but the straps that held him were built for not so human patients. Every cell in his body cried and called out. He could feel tears starting to form. He tried clenching his eyes shut, preventing the tears from fully forming (preventing him from showing weakness). But it wasn't long until a second, more powerful wave of pain and hurt consumed him.
Sephiroth’s eyes darted around. trying to anchor himself on consciousness. He looked around, once more spotting the man. For some reason Hojo can’t see him. He tried focusing in the man. Trying to distract himself from the burning sensation coming from his blood.
Then he blacked out.
The next time he woke up, he was back in his room. Sephiroth knew ‘cell’ was more accurate than ‘room’. One of the former caretakers he had when he was younger described their child’s room. It all sounded unnecessary. The frilly curtains, and bright colors. The toys that serve no purpose but to entertain. It all seemed useless. It all sounded foreign. it all sounded incredible.
He wanted to be normal. He wanted to be unnecessary. He wanted to just be. But Hojo told him not to.
He sat up, breaking away from his dark thoughts. Then he noticed the same man in the corner of his room. Just leaning casually, hands crossed, observing Sephiroth.
Sephiroth is smart. He knew that the reason today’s test had hurt so much was because he mentioned the man to Hojo. And for some reason, Hojo cant see the man. He also knew that his room is bugged. A camera in the corner. Constantly watching Sephiroth. Collecting data of his behavior to be studied like a corpse laid out for dissection. So he opted to go to the desk, and pretended to take notes on a Tactics book. Making his movements obvious. Leaning to one side to clearly show what he’s writing to the man, but hiding it from the camera.
‘Why can’t Hojo see you?’ He writes. His plan wasn’t well thought. Sure, the camera’s can’t see what he’s doing, but it doesn't guarantee the man will read what he’s writing.
“Because I’m not really here”
Sephiroth blinked, stunned. It worked.
‘What do you mean?’
“My physical body...It’s not really here”
‘Where is it?’
“I don’t know”
This man is an enigma. He can hear the man behind him. If the man can be seen by the cameras, then guards would have swarmed in to apprehend him already.
‘What are you’ Sephiroth scrawls. Is he the ‘ghosts’ that he’s heard some of the technicians talk about?
“I’m no one”
Sephiroth huffs. He’s even more curious now. ‘You’re not no one. I can see you’
“How sure are you? I’m sure you’ve noticed, you’re the only one that can see me”
Sephiroth pauses. He’s read about hallucinations before. But they only occur in times of extreme stress. And the first time he’s seen the man, it was before the testing not during. And right now, he’s in a space he feels most comfortable in. He shakes his head, resolving to drop the subject.
‘What’s your name?’
“Cloud...Call me Cloud” The man, Cloud, decides. He moves to lean beside Sephiroth’s desk, putting himself in clear view of the child.
Sephiroth discreetly looked up at the man. Cloud’s most notable appearance is his ridiculous blond hair. Spiking around as if defying gravity. That was before Sephiroth noticed his eyes, It was blue, glowing, and it was slited.
Just like me
“Kid, it’s rude to stare” Cloud snorted.
‘Sorry’
“You should rest. I saw what Hojo did. And he’s preparing a new batch tomorrow” Cloud gently instructed the child.
Sephiroth, finally realizing his own fatigue, nodded. And promptly carried himself to bed. He can figure the man out another time.
The next day, Sephiroth woke to the man sitting at his bedside. Looking down as if lost in thought. Sephiroth only nudged his foot discreetly to tell the man to move out of the way.
“Oh you’re awake” Cloud moved out of the way.
Sephiroth sat up, and checked the clock. 5:00 am, it read. He had enough time to prepare for Hojo’s next test.
He stood up and slowly peeled his clothes off.
Cloud cleared his throat, “What’re you doing?”
Sephiroth only turned to him and mouthed ‘Hojo’.
“Ah”
It wasn’t long after Sephiroth had completely dressed in his gown, that Hojo himself came busting into his room.
“Get dressed, we’re taking another-” The mad man paused. “I see you’ve already prepared”
“Yes, doctor” Sephiroth replied meekly.
“And how do you possibly know about today’s test. I haven’t informed you, nor my staff.” Hojo narrowed his eyes.
Sephiroth’s body stiffened. It was the man that had told him. How does the man know? What does he tell Hojo?
“Tell him the truth” Cloud said from beside him.
Sephiroth only briefly glanced at him in shock.
“Do not test me boy.” Hojo snapped.
In the heat of his panic, Sephiroth blurted out the first answer he could formulate.
“It was Cloud sir”
“Cloud? Don’t lie to me, there are no staff here called Cloud”
“Tell him I’m your imaginary friend.” Cloud suggested.
Sephiroth only glanced at him, this time thinking ‘Are you crazy?’
“Well?!” Hojo’s voice snapped him back to reality.
“He’s my...imaginary friend...sir” Sephiroth’s voice flatered at the end. it all sounds so wrong. But it’s the best he’s got.
The doctor said nothing. Only narrowing his eyes, then sharply turning away. Gesturing for the boy to follow him.
That day, the battery of tests made Sephiroth hurt so much, he was incapacitated for a full week.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“You Ok?” Cloud asked, running his hand through the now teenage Sephiroth.
They continued their entire spiel of discreetly communicating. After what Hojo did to Sephiroth that day, they’ve decided to show little sign of Cloud’s existence.
However, there have been a few slip ups in the past years. Just like what happened that day, Cloud had informed Sephiroth of a scheduled test that Hojo hadn’t told anyone about. Sephiroth soon found himself in the mercy of a mutated Zolom soon after. Then when Sephiroth was writhing in pain on another metal table, he had accidentally called Cloud’s name. Begging for help. Hojo merely increased the dosage.
But after trial and error, they’ve managed to find out a system. It also helped that Cloud knew Morse code, and taught Sephiroth. This way, Sephiroth can communicate in taps, or blinking. Of course, it helped that the staff didn’t know Sephiroth knew Morse code, or even can understand it at all. (They’re scientists, not soilders)
‘Yes’ Sephiroth tapped.
“Good” Cloud sighed, then paused. He looked up at the ceiling, looking troubled.
‘Are you dying?’
He gazed up at Cloud. In all the years that his Imaginary friend has been with him, Cloud has never aged. Never changed. Of course, he’s never had any other imaginary friend, nor had he met anybody who had one. But it is to his understanding that they usually disappear after a certain age. And yet here Cloud is. The only constant in Sephiroth’s life aside from Hojo and the pain he brings.
However he’s noticed Cloud has been disappearing more frequently now. Sometimes fading, or growing transparent.
“So you’ve noticed” Cloud said sadly. He wasn’t dying per se. More like flickering. Disappearing. Dissolving. Leaving Sephiroth to fend Hojo on his own.
‘Don’t go’ Sephiroth tapped lightly. Afraid of what might happen. Cloud told him many things. From what it felt like to ride a chocobo, to how a motorcycle engine works, to the true nature of his birth. He told him about Lucrecia and a Turk named Vincent Valentine. How Hojo back stabbed them. How he killed Professor Gast (Sephiroth liked Professor Gast, he thought he’d merely been moved to another lab), and about Jenova. About what she really is. Sephiroth trusted Cloud, and believed everything he said
At first Sephiroth thought himself a monster. But after Cloud’s constant reassurances, he’d slowly accepted that he’s as human as anybody else.
“Sephiroth, I can’t stay for much longer” Cloud whispered, “Hojo’s gonna present you to the president soon. And I can’t follow you to Midgar”
‘What’ Sephiroth clenched his fist after asking.
“I can’t.” Cloud sounded pained, “I-...”
They stayed in silence. Inside Sephiroth’s room, full of grey steel. The quiet as thick as blood.
“It’s tonight” Cloud finally said.
“Please don’t leave me” Sephiroth whispered. The cameras be damned. He can’t. His friend is leaving him and-
“Sephiroth” Cloud gently apologized. “Remember everything that I’ve taught you, yeah?”
“...Please don’t. Stay. Please”
Cloud sighed, “I’ll stay as long as I can”
That night, Sephiroth cried. Unhibited, uncaring of the repercussions. Uncaring of what Hojo might do if he saw the tapes. All so he can mourn his friend properly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wutai war was finally finished. The streets of Midgar was filled with SOLDIERS and Infantrymen reuniting with their families, friends, and loved ones. The streets of Loveless avenue was full of hugging, kissing, and over all joy. It was practically a holiday. A festival.
Genesis had left with Angeal on a trip to a showing of Loveless. Leaving Sephiroth alone for his homecoming. His friends asked him to join, but he politely declined. He’d much rather stay home than be carted around as a third wheel on their date.
So here he is, The Hero of Wutai. Alone on a joyous evening. He looked down on the streets. Quietly observing the goings on. He once wished for someone to return to. But the only person he’s ever remotely had was long gone.
He’s not even sure he existed.
Just then, his PHS started ringing.
“General sir?” An uncertain voice from the other side asked. It must have been the guards stationed in the lobby.
“Speak” Sephiroth only answered. Mildly annoyed.
“S-Sir, there’s a visitor for you.”
Sephiroth stayed silent. It’s most likely someone from his ridiculous fan club.
“Sir?”
“Where are they from” Sephiroth said coldly. He is not in the mood for dealing with crazed civilians tonight.
“Says h-he’s from Science sir!” The man answered sharply.
“Identification” Sephiroth asked. The only thing worse than a rabid fan, is one of Hojo’s men.
He can hear the phone being passed to, presumably, the visitor. He had expected an update on a checkup, however the voice on the other end made Sephiroth stiffen.
“Sephiroth...It’s Cloud”

he just said that he used to not support the blm movement because they chanted rude things about police officers
I would like to reiterate that “pigs in a blanket” has never been chanted in a protest or been a prominent statement in the blm movement nor “fry em like bacon” so what trump is saying is factually incorrect

(he means wind mills and its untrue)
“Whats the next question baba”
“the final question is leadership which he doesnt have”- baba 2020
I feel bad for anybody watching this on the toilet
bidens starring into your soul
he knows what your doing
there officially overtime
its 10 33
they haven't even done the last section yet
btw ITS A SCHOOL NIGHT
why do they host these so late
I should be pretending to be asleep right now
this is generational discrimination
plus trumps supporters are so old there asleep by now
ohhhh its over
1036 final time
okay so thoughts....I generally dont like the party system i think its ridiculous the system was not designed for it, and its now more about loyalty then the actual candidates. I also am really hesitant to put another strait white male in the oval office, especially one thats from “the lucky few” I.E. the smallest voting generation in the country and also the one that already holds the most positions. That being said, at this point its really anyone but trump and I think bidens got the experience to turn things around.
I AM IN SCHOOL I CANNOT VOTE. I am relying on all my older friends, followers, neighbors, and community members. To make an educated decision that wont further degrade the once hopeful future my generation awaits. Please if you can vote VOTE the kids are relying on you!
P.S. sorry i wasn't able to edit this earlier i struggle alot with spelling and didnt have the time to edit this because I HAD TO GO TO BED AND THEN GO TO SCHOOL. Why am I more politically active then people twice my age you might ask? Well, thats because adults are lazy and need to get of their gd asses and VOTE. So kids dont have to do the legwork for them.
I have said my peace now, have a wonderful day!
