[If not for all else he's come to learn of Sephiroth these past few months, as well as the man's honesty and general demeanor, he might take these words with more caution and skepticism. It's the certainty—and the vast number of stories described—that coaxes Itachi into believing what he's told. Still, there's such complexity to it he can't hope to grasp without a direct experience of this world. Gaia.
It makes him curious enough to wonder what it would be like. Visiting, seeing the place where Sephiroth came from, however twisted it might be.
It isn't as though he's a stranger to such corruption.]
The woman you mentioned, then she is another Mirrorbound? [It's less question than confirmation.] I see. A wonder that one singular entity could maintain so much control, but if it's as you say, and they maintain that hold over all resources...
[It would make sense. They stand in a position of power.]
Some parallels exist in my own world, but they're most often isolated to agents acting on their own. [Orochimaru comes to mind, briefly.] It sounds as though you'll have plenty of allies against Shinra, should that day come. Are there any individuals you're personally familiar with in the organization? It may also be possible they'll arrive here.
[That woman — Aerith — had illuminated the truth as well as Cloud. But she, too, had known Shinra as an invasive force in her life and the Planet as a whole. Her heritage ensured both.]
I know many from Shinra. It’s impossible to not grow accustomed to the faces of those who run the company. President Shinra and his son; their loyal Turks, those who do the company’s dirty work.
[And Itachi too will be keeping an eye out for the appearance of those aligned with Shinra—as well as anyone else from Sephiroth's strange world. It does make him wonder at the logic behind the selection of individuals brought here.
He falls silent in the wake of that proclamation nevertheless. Final and foreboding. They've shared so much in this conversation that, for a moment looking out at the ocean, he's surprised at himself for the vulnerability. Yet Sephiroth has never been difficult to speak to.
For now, at least, they're left to their own thoughts.]

If any arrive, I won’t hesitate to confront them.
