Summary
As a last ditch effort to relinquish Sephiroth's control over himself, Hojo takes him to Nibelheim to offer him to Jenova once and for all.
When Hojo ultimately fails, he doesn't expect to stumble upon another Sephiroth and an unconscious Cloud Strife at his feet. But it seems that Jenova has granted his one last chance. After all, her plans were crushed once, but never again.
"This Gaia is weak, and so are you," Hojo sneers as he leads Sepiroth further down into the depths of the mansion. Sephiroth sighs internally, tired of but begrudgingly used to Hojo's constant attitude. While their contact has been limited as of late, it's almost disappointing to see Hojo hasn't changed. Wishful thinking on Sephiroth's part. He supposes that sticking a depraved and deeply troubled man in isolation deep in the mountains would barely evoke any such semblance of said change.
Despite his continual vocalized misgivings and dark mutterings, Sephiroth doesn't miss the slight grimace in Hojo's frame as they pass a bolted down door on their left. It's hinges are broken but it's still held together thanks to the large wooden beams jammed through the handles. Wonder what that's about.
