[LINK] "Detroit: Urban Laboratory and the New American Frontier"

..., his cat-like eyes remained fixated on them as his walk slowed to an eventual stop. He remembered well the time they'd gone up there. His gaze followed his thoughts as he looked up towards the high ceiling. Sephiroth's attention only lingered for a few moments before his eyes slid shut.
