rewatching crisis core is a trip because you're not misremembering it: it really IS that disjointed

sephiroth launches into nostalgic stories with absolutely no pretense or context. he and zack will be looking at a dead body and suddenly sephiroth is talking about how he won the shinra co. wet t shirt contest of '96

like you can just TELL sephiroth has no goddamn friends to talk to besides gen and angeal because he's bursting at the seams to tell zack these absolutely bonkers stories given the SLIGHTEST green light to do so

sephiroth:

zack:

we all love zack as our adhd king but seph is the sleeper hit for autistic king. seph will infodump his completely irrelevant stories on ANYONE if they even look in his direction
