The weather was still bitterly cold, and the snow was still thick on the ground, but it was finally possible to at least go outside by the front doors. The King and Queen have still forbidden anyone from staying overnight at the museum district in case it started snowing again. But the King could be seen outside trying to shovel snow enough to make a path to the castle at the least.

The snow was still too thick to get easily anywhere not shoveled, and the snow was so heavy that even beasted out, Ben needed to take constant breaks inside to sit down and dry off. This wasn't going to be a fast task.

It was only made harder when it started. For those who slept, it would start after they have fully awoken for the day. For those who don't sleep, they'd find that they had fallen into a pleasant daydream, even if it wasn't normal for them to do so. When they came out of it, that was when it would start for them.

But what is it, exactly?

Small snippets of memories, playing for anyone who was with the person remembering to see. But the thing was, these memories... were memories the person had not yet made. Memories of the future.

Not enough to give answers, probably not enough to give reassurances for much other than "oh hey, I do have a future after all," but generally pleasant, and short. Hey, it will give people a thing to talk about, at least. Especially since this will go on for the next two weeks or so.

Sephiroth nods. "Sadly true." And he wishes he could do some of the things people want, but that doesn't change that he just can't. "After a while one wonders if it's even worth it to keep on in that life, but by then it's too late to go into another line of work." And in his case there's the added complication of what happened to Zack and how he blames himself for it.

He has wondered if the reason why he seems fairly accepted here is because people don't know him and either haven't heard of his reputation or are among the few who don't put all stock in such things. He chose the life of a hero, unlike the counterpart he doesn't know about, and while he had mostly been happy in that life, the skewed views of people are a definite downside. And after he fell to the darkness via being possessed by a dark magic object, he doesn't even feel worthy to be considered a hero any more.

He simply nods in agreement as Rose begins to snuggle up to him in a noble effort of reassurance. Speaking of which, that does got Harry to think over as to why no one in his time at Avalon and Auradon hasn’t heard of him or his reputation before showing up in both places as well or if they just don’t bother with it to begin with.

While he certainly didn’t regret choosing to be a good person in spite of everything happening to or around him, he can’t erase many of the bad decisions he had committed throughout his life. Especially the time he tried to go after his own godfather as a teenager thanks to false rumors involving said godfather and the festering anger and angst inside him. It really felt so wrong back then as it is now.

Sephiroth has definitely been rather surprised and confused that those from his world don't seem to have heard much about him, if anything. But maybe they have and they just feel they're being tactful by keeping quiet. That's fine with him, really.

He doesn't regret trying to help others either, but he regrets his mistakes that caused so much heartache and pain and still are. How he wishes he could undo everything that went so wrong.

Finally he smirks a bit. "But it's all pointless speculation now anyway. What is, is, and now we're in a different world where all of that is irrelevant." And he wonders if they will ever get home. But ... if the strange scenes are possible futures, then it would seem they must be able to return eventually....

“Yes of course. There is no point in wallowing in our grief over what others at home think of us. Besides those kinds of people aren’t here right now so I guess we’ll just have to make the most of what we can do in this world and help them out during this crucial time.”

Sephiroth nods. He hopes he can help. So far he hasn't figured out much he can do.

"Have you made any progress?"
