* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** Because Sephiroth was practically raised in the Shinra building, the author reinterprets Scarlet, Heidegger, and Palmer as genuinely decent people who were like a large extended family to him, and that they would have undergone a CynicismCatalyst if things in the story had happened according to canon. It helps that none of them have a canon backstory of how they came to be the way they were in the original game.
