This is, I think, one of the most heartbreaking scenes in entire game when it's Zack here instead of Cloud.
Because this?
This is Sephiroth stopping because his friend called out to him, seeing Zack is upset, and trying to offer him a smile that's not quite the smile he's been giving Zack until now, but he's trying. Because there's still a part in him that registers that this is a friend who is in distress, a part of him that wants to comfort and reassure.
Sephiroth has just slaughtered an entire town, killed everyone who has tried to come in his way, even people who were just there. But he hasn't done anything to Zack besides walking right past him and, when Zack tried to physically stop him from doing so, throwing him into a wall (and we even get a visual of Jenova's influence on Sephiroth at that moment as seen here (yes I'm plugging my own gifs because that's easiest, sue me)). He was just casually strolling by Zack right before this moment too, but when Zack called his name he stopped and turned.
And then he saw Zack and the state he's in.
You can actually see that shift in Sephiroth, when he registers that this is his friend in front of him.
So he gives Zack one last smile because it's all he can do anymore before walking away.

Jiang Yanli Cosplay Worklog- Part 4 The Skirt (Qun 裙)
Materials used:
Purple muslin fabric
Light pink muslin fabric (inner layer of the skirt + Lotus embroidery patch)
Bright pink satin immitation fabric (outer layer of the skirt )
Red and white fabric paint (Instead of mixing the colours you can buy a pink one right from the start .I already had these colours from previous projects and this gave me the chance to experiment with different shades of pink)
Zipper
As I mentioned before , this is not a historically accurate hanfu, so the skirt was made in the same way as a pleated skirt.
For the top part of the skirt (the one that is supposed to sit high on your chest I cut out two rectangular pieces of the purple muslin fabric. I pinned the two pieces together and sewed the sides together while leaving the bottom part of the rectangle open as shown in the picture. I then turned the two pieces inside out and ironed them flat.

Lotus embroidery patch: I took some screenshots of the dress from the anime and edited them to create a black and white printable lotus pattern. I cut the pattern and transferred the design onto the light pink muslim fabric. I used a zig zag stich to make the outline of the flower. I mixed the red and white fabric paints together and painted on the edges of the flower. I suggest using a sponge instead of a paint brush as it is more suitable for creating an ombre effect and doesn’t leave lines on the fabric. I then cut the flower, pinned it on the purple fabric and used a zig zag stich again to sew it onto the fabric.




For the bottom part of the skirt I used two kinds of fabric. The inner part is made of a light pink muslin fabric while the outer part is made from a silk immitation bright pink fabric. The reason for adding the second layer was making the dress more flowy. (Note: Silk immitation fabric can’t hold the shape of the pleats as good as synthetic fabrics no matter how much you iron it . Moreover adding a second layer makes the whole process more complicated and time consuming so you can go ahead and use only one layer.)
I hemmed the bottom part of the fabrics and then proceeded to pleat them . (I won’t go into detail on fabric pleating here as there are already a lot of tutorials online that show you how to measure and make pleats ). I then connected both skirts by sewing their top parts together.


I sewed the top part of the skirt to the bottom part as shown in the picture and then added a zipper. (The silk fabric make the whole process a lot more difficult as it kept getting stuck inside the zipper )

Jiang Yanli Worklog Part 3 The Blouse (Yi 衣)
1) For the blouse I used a white cotton fabric and a simple kimono pattern which I cut at waist length. (The process of making the blouse is almost identical to that of the coat so if any any of the steps mentioned below confuses you I suggest you refer to the second part of this worklog).

.
2) After I cut my pattern pieces I connected the two front panels with the back panel (Seam 1) .I sewed the sleeves to the blouse (seam 2) and then sewed the sleeves and the sides closed (seam 3).



3) I used the same white fabric for the collar. The width of the fabric was 16 centimeters. I folded and ironed it and then folded again each of the two sides inwards. After being folded each side needs to have a width of 4 centimetres . (The process is similar to making bias tape).

4) I then “sandwiched”the edges of the blouse between the two folded sides and sewed as close to the edge as possible.



5) I sewed two pink ribbons at the two edges of the collar.

6) I then sewed four ribbons of the same colour as shown in the picture . These will be used to tie the blouse. First you need to tie ribbons A and B together and then do the same with ribbons C and D.

Jiang Yanli Worklog Part 2
The Coat (Daxiushan大袖衫)
1)Pattern : The coat pattern is a modified kimono pattern .I simply made the front pieces smaller since they don’t need to overlap like a regular kimono does.
2) I connected the two front panels with the back panel by sewing the shoulders (seam 1)
3) I pinned the sleeves and sewed them on the coat as shown in the picture (seam 2)
4) I sewed the sleeves and the sides closed (seam 3)
5) I used a darker purple fabric to cover the edges of the coat. The fabric was 16 centimetres wide. I folded and ironed it and then folded each of the two sides inwards. Each side needs to have a width of 4 centimetres . (The process is similar to making bias tape). I then “sandwiched”the edge of the fabric between the two folded sides and sewed as close as possible to the edge of the dark purple fabric .

Jiang Yanli (Shijie) Cosplay Worklog Part 1- Costume Overview
After some quick online research I found that Shijie’s dress is most likely a type of Hanfu (汉服) called Qixiong Ruqun(齐胸襦裙) . It consists of a skirt (qun裙) and a blouse (ru襦) . She also wears a coat called Daxiushan大袖衫.
Disclaimer : My knowledge on Hanfu is still very limited and this not the proper way of sewing a historically accurate one. I treated it as a cosplay project and tried to keep the whole process as simple as possible.

A part of my youth has temporarily left.
It's weird knowing that he won't be here with us anymore.
Thank you for being born and thank you for appearing and letting me know you in the days of my youth.
Good night Reita | the GazettE.
