[ Seeing how that guy has been a pain in Sora's neck a number of times already, and given that he and Cloud had disappeared to some unknown place after their last fight, maybe it shouldn't be such a shock to Sora that Sephiroth's causing problems elsewhere too.

Even if it's not the same version of him, he doesn't seem capable of leaving people alone. Instead he spreads darkness wherever he goes. ]

Yeah. I've had to fight him a couple times. Barely made it, but...

[ He sighs to himself as the initial shock wears off, then sends Aerith a worried glance. ]

He's really powerful. I'm sorry that you've gotta deal with him, too.
