Sephiroth freezes and then slowly relaxes. He didn't expect to open up like this and he certainly didn't expect to be told that. Aerith is the only one who's ever told him that.

"I..."

Sephiroth tries but it's no good. He doesn't know how to express himself. There is one thing he is certain of though and for some reason he says it.

"You're a good friend, Wufei."
