[Cloud's terrified of him, and he's ... terrified of facing Jenova, the thought left a cold sweat threatening to break out in spite of the heat he kept his home at. Cloud only had some cells. He was half alien disease. What if it made it that much harder to resist? What if he was only risking the world a decade too soon?]
