I cannot allow Sephiroth to not be under my control. It is as simple as that. He is too potentially dangerous to be allowed to join with Kadaj or roam about loose. As I told Reno, I will not be walking into this alone. I will have yourself, Reno, Sabra, Lorelei, Rafael, and this Aki as well.

I trust myself and my life to you daily, Tseng. Do not threaten me and make me feel uneasy with that decision on my part.
