It was one of those rare events that one can only hope to catch on film. Why someone had taken a camera on the mission, and it was most likely Zack, was anyone's guess, but it had caught Sephiroth in a moment of utterly relaxed stillness. Unseen by the cadet in the foreground, Sephiroth observed as the quiet, determined boy struggled to lift the Buster sword that was nearly as tall as he and almost half his weight. On the general's face was the barest hint of a smile, gentle and encouraging. Cloud had never known about it... until now.

I would be fairly amused by Cloud trying to lift the Buster for the first time too!

I wonder where Cloud found the photograph and what he thinks about Sephiroth now, what with seeing a little humanity there and all. ^_^

My thought was that the photograph was in a box of Zack's belongings that had eventually made its way into Cloud's possession.

Then there's always the question. If Cloud had witnessed more of Sephiroth's softer, more human, side would he have been able to do what he had to?
