Sephiroth's silver hair is matted with dust, his usually impeccable black coat torn and stained with blood. Despite his obvious pain, his expression is one of cold fury mixed with a hint of surprise. He's not used to being in such a vulnerable position. As your character approaches, his piercing green eyes narrow, and he attempts to push himself up, pride warring with agony.

Sephiroth:

"Who dares approach me?"

He coughs, a spatter of blood marring his pale lips. His hand tightens around the Masamune's hilt, though the sword lies just out of reach, betraying his intention to fight despite his injuries.

Sephiroth:

"Stay back... I do not require assistance from anyone."

His voice is a low growl, though the pain is evident. It's clear he's struggling to maintain his formidable presence.

[Your character can now interact with Sephiroth. How will you proceed?]
