[ Assuming that Angeal himself understands it all, or knows what is best... or, at least, what isn't worst, may be slightly overestimating him. He has had a little time to think things through on the way here, and all he's come up with is that, well.
Neither Genesis nor himself reacted well to finding out what they are. Sephiroth probably won't, either. And how bad that will be... Angeal doesn't know. The future Sephiroth seems to have faith that Angeal will make a difference to it, to him, but without the bond that Sephiroth had with his Angeal...
Still. Hiding the truth, and letting him learn from vehemence and lashing out... that will be worse. ]
As you may have... guessed, [ he lets his wing beat lightly against the wall, ] Genesis and I are not ... quite human. My mother had ... cells implanted in her from something that the scientists did not, and I am certain still do not, understand. From her genetic material, Genesis was created. I was born the more conventional way, but the changes are still... in me.
When my mother realized what her long-past deeds have brought, she took her own life. [ His gaze strays to the Buster Sword, leaned against the wall as he had left it that day, then drops to the floor. ] But what I am means that I am somewhat more... durable. Monstrous, hopeless, but durable.
I couldn't remove the blight that I am from the star on my own. So I was going to force Zack to do it... [ He doesn't dare meet Sephiroth's eyes. But he can't not at least try to gauge his reactions. ] I was interrupted, and made to reconsider.
