Kefka raised his hands and replied, "I've given you no reason to trust me. Just, thought you need the power." He turned away then stated, "I wonder, when your friends are on the battlefield fighting an enemy they cannot handle, will you be there on the front lines, being completely pathetic and useless...or will you be the one to give your friends the edge to fight again." He looked over his shoulder and stated, "I can give you that edge, boy, all I ask...is for your devotion to me. To help me, claim what I had stolen."

He saw the boy's insecurities, and he loved it.
