[ Sephiroth appeared to be ignoring the others for the most part. He wasn't. He'd been trying to identify who was likely to be unable to handle what was ahead. There were several. Those that had been in Unova less than a month and possibly a girl that was lagging behind.
The question was whether to try protecting them in the event things went bad or to let them fend for themselves.
Protecting the public had been a part of his job as SOLDIER but, he'd abandoned that along with everything else. Some habits were hard to break though. ]
If one is so inclined, now is probably the time to turn back.
[ A reminder that turning back was an option would do for now. ]
