Summary
He thinks about Sephiroth’s words right before Nibelheim. He wonders, had he left ShinRa, would things have gone differently? Would ShinRa have allowed him to leave? Would ShinRa have allowed Zack to leave?
He mulls over hundreds of different scenarios, on the thousands of things he could’ve done differently, on all the things he would’ve changed if he had known, if he had the chance.
In the middle of the mountains separating the Junon area from the grasslands, all he is left with is Cloud, a sword and a lifetime of regrets.

Summary
Canute does whatever he can to keep Thorfinn, though it might cost him everything.
“You want to kill me now.”
The words steal his breath with their truth. Thorfinn looks at him, from under his filthy bangs, eyes piercing and bruised. Something in Canute’s chest flips over at that look, at how wounded he is. He’s broken. He’s been broken from the first moment they met, but now he’s lost even Askeladd to hold his pieces together.
“But if you fight me like this, it’s not fair. You have to wait until I get stronger. Be my guard until then, and I’ll duel you, warrior to warrior.”
Thorfinn’s gaze is unflinching. Canute reaches behind him and pulls the dagger from the folds of his fur-lined cloak. The blade is a part of Thorfinn, like the crown is a part of Canute, now. He hands it over, hilt first.
“Or, you can kill me today. Right now, right here.”
