[He's got the right of it. Sephiroth isn't hard to read in this moment, as much as he tries to coil it all up and hammer it down in some deep, hidden part of him he keeps practically anything else emotive. Maybe that's a point in Reno's favor, how observant he is, or how familiar he is, at least in a work capacity, with Sephiroth in general. Or maybe the SOLDIER really is shaken by this in ways he cannot hope to properly conceal, not all the way through.
Again, he does his best impression of a stone statue, unmoving. His eyes, though -- it's obvious to see that they're churning with thought behind the mako green glow. Somehow, this feels like opening up a vulnerability, laid out for the the Turk to see and dissect, and we all know how Sephiroth feels about that.
But, eventually:]
...Ciri. A woman also summoned in by the Free Cities, before even my arrival to this world.
