Cloud has spent years trying to kill Sephiroth with nothing to show for it.
He should know better than to fight a siren by now—it always goes the same. Cloud lunges with his knives and Sephiroth drags him into the water, pinning him down with his tail, lashing out with his talons. Eventually, Cloud escapes and hobbles home to deal with his shame.
But that isn't what happens this time. When Sephiroth decides he wants something other than a fight from Cloud, needs it, how can Cloud possibly deny him?
