[Cloud's shaking his head before Zack even finishes, lifting his hands helplessly.] I didn't save anybody, Zack. Aerith did, with Holy and the Lifestream. And Meteor totaled most of Midgar even then.

[He went too far with that 'you weren't there,' he knows, but he can't just tiptoe around it anymore. Not if Zack wants to barge in here for honest answers.] I killed Sephiroth for me. We all had our own reasons- but Barret, Cid, and Red- half the people with me, they're the kind of person you think I am. The kind of people who- who give up their dreams, who do the right thing because it's right.

That's not me, Zack. I'm not that kind of guy.
