Born To Die - Sephiroth x Cloud

This song played in the background just as I watched that sequence in Rebirth 3:17 The lyrics and the rhythm made me imagine this long story, which I hope you can understand in the video without reading the description.

Past: Cloud and Sephiroth are first class soldiers who only interact for work. One night Cloud is relaxing drinking alone in a bar, to his surprise Sephiroth catches his attention and they start chatting, instantly liking each other, as they are talking Sephiroth invites Cloud to spend the night at his place (hinting to share a sexual moment) , Cloud hesitant at first, agrees to go with him. After they have sex they both feel safe together, however, Sephiroth is afraid of these feelings, which disappear with Cloud's calmness, comforting him and he decides to love him.

After years of relationship the Nibelheim incident occurs and Cloud is terrified to know that Sephiroth has hurt him by betraying the love he had for him in the most horrible way, yet he fights for his love to stop Sephiroth, but the reality is that Sephiroth does not want to dialogue and Cloud decides to destroy him as he has decided to destroy everything in his path.

At this moment Sephiroth also hates himself for having believed what he was told and not having questioned anything about his life, for him everything has been a lie where everyone is involved. These feelings take him back to his youth where before killing Rosen he curses him wishing him "eternal pain", so he believes that this is the reason for his pain, however, in reality the eternal pain is that the time where the most painful events of his life (i.e. since he discovers the truth in the library, until he betrays his love and they fight in the reactor), are repeated to start again when either of them dies at the hands of the other.

Sephiroth realizes this cycle and tries to get his way and break it so that his plan to take Jenova works, in the end Cloud reacts and also realizes this infinite cycle, Sephiroth seeing his failed attempts, finally tries to dialogue with Cloud understanding his perspective and asking for forgiveness for hurting him, but Cloud living many times the pain that Sephiroth caused him and did not change before, does not forgive him and both are condemned to an eternal conflict.

The song and the characters do not belong to me, I only use them for entertainment.
