Yeah, he can see Sephiroth taking notes in his head. It'd be kind of funny, just another one of his weird little quirks - if this was about anything else. But Zack has already seen what happens when Sephiroth tries to interfere. When both of them do, and still things turned out the way they did. Still he's here, and he's not sure it's their planet they need to get back to, or just the land of the living.

"You don't think we tried everything we could think of?" Maybe not, actually. Zack has to remind himself again that this Sephiroth doesn't really know him, as he shakes his head. "It's not going to be that easy."
