Hell of a romantic first meeting. Then again, my partner thinks the first time I killed him was our 'crowning moment together,' so I really got no room to talk.

[Are sins ever forgiven? He doesn't know what the answer was the first time, but Vincent must have figured it out for himself eventually, since he's a warden here. And...Vaggie's point rings true if he thinks about it in those terms. The only difference between Vincent and Cloud is that Vincent's nigh impossible to kill, so he didn't die before his second chance (third, really, but who's counting) came around.]

...my commanding officer burnt down my hometown and impaled me on his sword, and then tried to wipe out humanity.

[The tone is lighter than maybe it should be, more of an attempt at solidarity than anything else.]
