#do you think hojo used jenova-mako in high concentrations on Vincent? do you think in another time Vincent is the first one to grow wings?

Vincent being the trial run for a lot of the experimentation Sephiroth went through isn't something I thought of until recently, but I can't stop thinking about it.

Glowing eyes may come from exposure to mako naturally, but is it the same with Sephiroth's slit pupils? Sure, it could be consistent exposure to a much much higher percentage of Jenova-infected mako, but what if it's not?

Is Hojo going to test that on his first try and risk ruining Sephiroth's eyes and requiring an eye transplant? No. He'll do it to Vincent first.

The SOLIDER program was in its infancy when Vincent was dragged onto the operation table. Who did they test it on to make sure it was safe(ish)? Do you think President Shinra would let Hojo ruin his possible SOLDIERS by not having tried it on something or someone else first? It wouldn't surprise me if Hojo had to create new, specialized medical equipment for the SOLDIER program that could also be used in hospitals. Who do you think he tested the efficiency of them on?

The scene I imagine the most is this: Sephiroth, SOLDIER of SOLDIERS, set apart among even the most enhanced, finally meeting someone who has gone through the same procedures, the same surgeries, cut open by the same hand.

The scene I imagine the most is this: like recognizing like.
