#considering everything

But if you strip away the context of that presentation, you lose all of that. It's not something he directly expresses and in fact he doesn't directly express a whole lot - this is the least cynical explanation for why later entries just have him fixate on Cloud, because they aren't sure what else to do with him that echoes things he actually did in the games. It's why he pivots to expressly talking about Jenova and following in her footsteps in AC, and drops a lot of the ambiguous meteor-talk for something more directly informed by the more memorable and accessible concept of his evil alien mom. This is a character that truly becomes very boring if you aren't looking at him as a narrative tool and at his specific narrative context in OG, and so flat if you fixate exclusively on character-to-character relationships instead. This is like one of the core criticisms of fools who played this game and came away with "momma's boy."

So matching dishes and chairs…do you think they actually do kind of live together but take turns at each other’s homes? Maybe spend nights separately so they can introvert and/or not bring too much attention to their living situation?

The chairs makes me 🤭 it’s awesome to see the way they both like quirky things
