All our wishes can come trueNo, that's a Kingdom Hearts thing. Believe it or not, in the original game Sephiroth is actually a character, and actually couldn't give two shits about Cloud other than using him as a means to an end. Cloud though is actually really really mad at Sephiroth due to the whole "mother died burning and screaming" thing and the "gutted both pseudo-girlfriends like a fish on multiple occasions" thing and the "keep tearing holes in various vital organs" thing and the "caused an existential crisis that lead to the most collateral-filled suicide/validation attempt ever" thing. Sephiroth barely remembers he exists and figures he can kill two birds with one gigantic sword through the lungs by manipulating his will since they're both abominations unto god and all considering the Jenova and whatnot.
Except then in the spinoffs they made Sephiroth's motivation more along the lines of "jilted ex-girlfriend that goes out of the way to make Cloud's life a living hell" for no other reason than the writers needed him to be there and have a reason to be going after Cloud again. And then Kingdom Hearts he ceased to be a character entirely and was just "Cloud's evil half" or whatever which is the laziest excuse for a rewrite I've ever seen.

the one thing that gives me hope
is the possibility that it got rewritten before its released
I live in a constant state of fear and misery.
