Hello! Do you all remember the post I shared about Lucrecia’s scene here in the OG?

If not then let me share a very sad connection I made. In this Lucrecia moment she says about her baby (Sephiroth):

“watashi no kawaī kodomo”

This means along the lines of “My cute baby…” or “my sweet little child.” The use of “kawaī” by Lucrecia is the key point because it shows her affection. “Kawaī” is used for cute little things like a kitten or darling baby.

Now here is what the dream version of Lucrecia in The First Soldier calls Sephiroth:

可愛いセフィロス。こっちへいらっしゃい。

“Kawaī Sephiroth. Come here.”

She fawns over her son with a phrase like “Cute, little Sephiroth” and then hugs him. You can interpret it as “sweet” or “darling” as well and that’s how they came up with “my sweet little boy.” It works just fine because “kawaī” is for precious little things.

The point here is that they have referenced this OG piece of dialogue from Lucrecia about her son. It looks like they make a distinction for Lucrecia to always see her son as this innocent and cute child even in a dream. Let nobody doubt that Lucrecia loved her baby even after everything 😢

Do you think Sephiroth inherited any mental illness from Lucretia?

He definitely inherited her anxiety and occasional depression bouts. Sephiroth has been suppressing his emotions most of his life, but internally, he often suffers from the same exhausted defeatism of his mother. He's a huge worrier, especially when it comes to his friends. And much like Lucrecia, he doesn't take care of himself whenever he's going through a rough patch.

Additionally, when pushed to the brink, Lucrecia and Sephiroth both have a tendency to self-destruct, making INCREDIBLY bad decisions in order to deal with their anger, fear, or frustration. But whereas Lucrecia ultimately chooses to implode alone, Sephiroth brings destruction onto others.

I've always subscribed to the headcanon that if Lucrecia can sense her son's future when he was still in the womb, the same supernatural connection applies to Sephiroth as well.

He WAS sharing the Jenova cells with Lucrecia when he was inside her, hence her physical immortality. So they are linked together in a pseudo-physic manner. It isn't just that Sephiroth desires his mother simply because he was denied her at birth--that's ALREADY pretty horrifying--but also because he constantly senses her, constantly feels her. They were linked together and then suddenly ripped apart. Imagine a constant sensation of incompletion, feeling like you KNOW someone who doesn't exist, the need for Reunion, but you have no idea why it's happening or what it means. A piece of you is missing, a piece of you that is already tainted with anguish and longing and feelings of love and need that you'll never come to know. Something is wrong. And you are all alone. And there is a constant harrowed sensation inside you that reminds you of what was lost...and yet never fully realized.

Whenever Sephiroth's transport airship passes over the region that hosts Lucrecia's cavern, there's always a faint tingle in his chest. A sudden rawness he can't place, tugging at him, burning. He reaches for it, presses his hand to his heart, confused at the sudden slickness in his eyes, the broken ache in his pulse.

By the time he reaches Nibelheim, so close and yet so far away, the ache becomes a crescendo.

The chocobo chicks are so friend-shaped!! The most correct thing Rebirth did was let us pet them.
