Zack... [ Clive says it with a half-smile, shaking his head, but it's obvious that there's a sort of sadness in it too. ]

If you want to remain human, I won't blame you, but...

[ Clive knows he could command it: put not just the power of his vampiric presence into his voice, but the fact that he's been Zack's leader for a few years now. But he won't do that. ]

I haven't... sired anyone before, but I'll do it, for you. [ Not even Gav, who's watching all of this with a quiet stoicism. He was turned by Cid, who led them before Clive. He knows the truth of Clive's words.

Clive puts his hand to one of Zack's. ]

There's no shame in wanting to live, or in wanting to... die as you are. It's your choice, but... [ His shoulders fall a little. ] I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be sorry to lose you.
