how did sonon feel before he died?

at first . . . there was relief .

sonon knew he would give his life to save yuffie , even though he may not have expected it to come down to that . his reaction was quick , and whilst he could have turned to face nero , he weighed the decision of at least one of them surviving over possibly neither of them . . . and that resulted in his life .

there is the parallel of the flashback of his sister to which he could not make in time but with yuffie , he could not only save but he could absorb the blow , he could push her to escape and that filled him with relief .

then guilt . . . he exposed yuffie to witness his death which happened in a gruesome way . that shock and pain in her face was something he was all too familiar with and that filled him with guilt . leaving him to barely look her in the eye as those doors closed .

but whilst sonon waited for the darkness to take him in his last moments the only thought that could bring him comfort was his sister's face .

“ emptiness  :  the natural state of all things ” to sonon

a small gleam twinkles in the wutaian's deeply rich eyen , approaching the man he can clearly label as shinra military-- a faded grin hinting upon his lips . he raises a hand . . . it slowly starts to move whilst a finger points upward upon realizing this man notes of something that brings sonon back to his philosophical teachings from back home .

' a state of impermanence . . . ' he lowly recites to himself . was it just coincidence or did shinra honestly study wutai spiritual practices ? it doesn't surprise him if the enemy were rehearsed in their culture . . . as it would give them an advantage : keep your friends close and your enemies closer . ' an interesting ideology , pretty sure it's not a typical midgarian teaching . ' his toned arms fold across his chest , head tilting with mild curiosity . // @highgear

whilst glenn's compassion is not always a visible trait , it shows when it is really needed . insomuch glenn will even show it for his enemies , regardless to what his task may be . not even in the simple form of just having humanity either , glenn can sometimes feel bonds of familial and paternal connection ( especially toward children ) .

though bitter , cold and annoyed with a young sephiroth coming in to take command of his mission , glenn later develops a protective brotherly bond over him . he apologies to sephiroth for how he treated him and always voices to his teammates how sephiroth is just a kid despite them all knowing how well he can handle himself on the battlefield . at times , glenn jumps to sephiroth's aid even when he can handle it himself .

prior to sephiroth's command to take over , glenn's team meets a young boy named rosen . he is an enemy to shinra and does not fear death nor glenn and his party when he chooses to aid them . whilst there was a truce between glenn's team and rosen , knowing how they would likely become enemies , glenn's bond with rosen became a paternal one . both matt and lucia noticing the change in glenn whilst on the island and later leaving it .

glenn simply has a soft spot for children even if he doesn't notice it himself or never admits it .

how does sonon feel about yuffie?

sonon has very familial feelings toward yuffie and her family . as a younger boy he grew up under the teachings of godo kisaragi , yuffie's father . the three of them , sonon , his sister melphie and yuffie all grew up to be very skilled ninjas through the training of godo . though yuffie is younger than sonon and closer in age to his sister , melphie -- there are plenty of likenesses both yuffie and melphie share . whilst their appearances are roughly similar , it's also their personalities as skilled ninjas and their likeness in motion sickness .

the fact sonon can see much of his sister's likenesses in yuffie is the reason he is not only protective of her but also supportive . he respects yuffie and her father godo ( much to her dismay ) and is happy to be there for yuffie despite some of his playful teasing .

sonon loved his sister melphie dearly and was incredibly pained by her death . he has a strong sense of revenge against shinra and scarlet , determined to assist yuffie and regain the glory of their homeland . sonon is a compassionate young man and even cares for some of the innocent folks living in the slums . he wants to do right by wutai , his sister and his master . whilst working with yuffie during their mission he slowly develops a brotherly bond with yuffie even though she'll remind him that she is not his sister . but despite this bond he does credit her exceptional experience and genuinely respects her .

though glenn and sonon are drastically different people with entirely opposing personalities they do share a common positive trait . the two men are self sacrificing individuals ; their bravery is unwavering and the two are resolute in their conviction to act .

sonon demonstrates this whenever yuffie may fall during battle , sacrificing his own remaining health in order for yuffie to regain hers . his protectiveness for yuffie stems for many reasons . for one , she is the leader of their mission to usurp shinra's most powerful materia . . . and the fact she simply resembles sonon's dearly beloved sister in so many ways . two , he will do anything to help their mission succeed for the name of their homeland and what it once was . sonon is faultlessly loyal , both determined and willing to protect a close friend or partner in any battle . this protectiveness goes hard due to the heartbreaking loss of his sister , it is an unsurmountable pain that sonon wishes to never relive . he goes above and beyond to protect his loved ones , especially when it comes to restoring the glory of his homeland and his people . he will gladly give his life for those he loves and his homeland .

perhaps it comes with the territory of being a soldier , never leaving a man behind , regardless if he has fallen . glenn is an exemplary soldier , he's been the face of a hero to his own comrades during tight situations . glenn is always eagerly ready to save his companions and has so often leapt in front of the dangers of death to save his brothers and sisters . glenn's natural instinct and astounding intuition is the reason he is able to act so quickly and successfully in his endeavors to save or protect his friends , he doesn't hesitate .

a big difference between sonon and glenn is that glenn's actions are less likely to get him fatally wounded , whereas sonon is likely to die in his attempt . they are different types of warriors but warriors none - the - less . these two men greatly care for the people they protect , acting without hesitating and understanding the consequences of their actions .

what are glenns aspirations?

the idea or concept of aspirations are fleeting thoughts for glenn , his foremost goal is to happily take care of and support his gram - gram . even though he's a gambler and tends to roll with the punches of his losses , glenn is truly just working as hard as he can and taking up any jobs he's assigned in order to save up money for his grandma . it's the only one he has that really matters the most .

though he has some debts ( with his comrade matt mostly ) he's not so terribly put out by his debt that whatever money he has it's still enough to put towards his gram .

he's simply living life as it goes for him , not necessarily trying to achieve some great thing for himself . he doesn't really care about his reputation and perceives a bad reputation better than no reputation . so , if his gambling helps him to make it big , great ! more money for gram - gram . if not , then simply what he is doing is enough , and when it's not he will just pick up some other way to earn it .

what are glenns hobbies?

glenn is a person with a lot of energy and thus enjoys activities that really get it all out , otherwise it becomes so bottled up he gets pretty restless ( and it's A LOT of energy to contain ) . he enjoys hobbies that keep him active , whether that's physical or mental .

for the more physical interests , anything to do with fighting , sparring , training are great ways for him to expend his energy and feel really good about himself . he loves to fight , it gets the blood pumping and the adrenaline going . kick it up a notch and add some speed to the mix and he's down for that too . bikes , cars , choppers , he loves vehicles . whether he's racing , doing stunts or jumping out of something , he's having a great time .

something that's a little bit of both is glenn being really fond of pulling pranks on his friends and family . not even gram-gram is safe from his stunts . as far as his pranks go , they are mostly harmless . glenn is not malicious when it comes to his pranks and they often make a fool of him , whilst getting a great reaction from others . he's respectful enough that if it's voiced by someone they don't like pranks , he simply won't prank that person . it's not fun when the other person isn't enjoying it too .

as for the mental hobbies that keep the rush going , he loves gambling . risks and chances don't have to be with his life , he will gladly burn a hole in his pocket regardless if he regrets it later .

lastly , a guilty pleasure ( and he'll play this for free lol ) he's a huge fan of playing fort condor !

what would glenn be if he wasn’t a soldier?

glenn is a gambler , relying on luck and his excellent skills in instinct and intuition . if not a soldier , glenn would be banking his gil on making it big in cards or other forms of legal gambling . though terrible with his own money , he would have an agent to take care of his finances ( once able to afford such a person ) .

without someone to carefully assist his finances , glenn would be in debt without question ( presuming he lost at enough games to someone ) .

he is only good at so few things , so if not using his brute strength , he is using his wallet . granted , he would be down for a fight club -- though it would likely be illegal gambling , being a boxer or fighter would also work for him as a back up profession to make money if he doesn't feel up to chance .

until i can get into the roll of posting more about these two, simple things to know :

glenn is a shinra - elite SOLDIER operative aka : a passive or P0 type SOLDIER which is an early model that predates enhanced SOLDIERS . he's a SOLDIER in his mid - to late twenties and would be in his late thirties / early forties come FF7R ( but knowing SE they probably didn't age him up even though First Soldier EC is 19 years prior FF7R ) .

sonon is a young adult teen ( 19 ) that is highly skilled in ninjutsu , trained by godo ( yuffie's father ) and served in the wutai war at a young age as a ninja warrior .
