Sephiroth has only ever hugged one character and that's Cloud Strife
Something Sephiroth did WHILE using "Ore" which the Ultimania specifically highlighted as being his pronoun used BEFORE Jenova
The same pronoun he used when he asked ONLY CLOUD to lend him his strength
Soooo does this all imply the old man narration voice is Sephiroth talking about how when he "won" in the original timeline he lost Cloud and so he went back in time to do it over cuz gee I wonder which diva said this before hmmm never heard of her!
