I totally love the idea, here, of Galbadia hiring SeeD to protect the fal'Cie, both because it starts Squad B off working against the resistance instead of with, and because of course Galbadia would hire SeeD for this because they don't care if SeeDs get turned into fal'Cie.

It’s not his job to question the mission; it’s his job to carry it out. Perfect Squall. I am so excited to see him and Seifer and Rinoa all argue about things.

it’ll be a test of who’s best at standing around and waiting, and it’s hard to find out who’s SeeD material from that.

hee hee perfect Squall again!!

“Oh, one of those missions,” Seifer says, rolling his eyes.

PERFECT SEIFER. PERFECT XU. PERFECT EVERYONE. <333333

“I couldn’t just do nothing,” she snaps. Rinoaaaaa

He draws breath to say they should be careful and realises a split-second before he speaks that it’s not actually what he’s going to say at all. The sight of the injured resistance member, gripping her l’Cie brand – she just wanted to talk to it – sparks something in him, a feeling or a memory, and he says, very calmly, “I’m going to destroy the fal’Cie.”

aaaaa this is perfect and I am so excited for the rest of this fix

“Are you crazy?” Zell demands, at the same time Seifer says, still looking at the resistance member, “Leave the finishing blow to me.”

Finishing blow gets the EXP!

“Wouldn’t’ve expected you to suggest it,” Seifer says, looking askance at Squall. “Guess I taught you well.”

Ugh, what a dick. Your dialogue is so good. And the interactions here are so interesting! Rinoa and Zell being the voices of reason! Seifer and Squall DESTROYING EVERYTHING.

“Planning to take all the glory for yourself?” Seifer asks.

Glory? Nobody is going to thank them for this.

I love this for how perfectly it encapsulates the difference between Seifer and Squall's worldview. They are both willing to engage in exactly the same destructive and self-destructive behaviors, they're just doing it for completely different reasons.
