[Sephiroth is quiet for bit after this answer, trying to process it. Putting together enough to ask the question doesn't mean he followed the thought through to the notion of being here for any length of time himself. Months... more than a year.
If there were any simple way back, they would have taken it, most of them. But Sephiroth's anger isn't so much about anything he might have been torn away from as it is about the violation of his autonomy. He didn't choose to come here, but in the long run it may be no better or worse than where he was. Midgar is only a place.
But he did have people he could trust. Not that he had much in common with them, but...
Wait.]
What do you mean, powers? [His guard is back up, his brow furrowing. He's always been... exceptional, but his skills aren't so far from a typical human's for anyone to call them powers. They can't all be like that, can they? That implies more intent than an "aftereffect."]
