[That turns Sephiroth's attention back to Diarmuid, once more assessing. It's possible he missed something, and he chooses to be certain that is literal and not a metaphysical - he can do nothing about wounds to the soul or mind.]
Are you injured?
[The monstrosity above, a hellish amalgamation of body parts and faces, opens several mouths in a silent scream as it gets slowly into a pouncing position. It might have been human once, or perhaps four or five of them. It isn't anymore. Maybe it seeks to add them to its collection.
People did not generally accuse Sephiroth of being selfless, and he's not certain how to address that particular part beyond a quiet huff, turning back to CLEARLY just continue on their way as the amalgamation of creatures pounces. The halls are wide enough to not impede the longsword as it's brought to bear, cleaving the thing squarely in half in one fluid motion.
This both helps and doesn't. Something with that many heads and arms also has redundant internals too, and falling into two bloody pieces merely means it can now attack more than one person at a time, and Diarmuid is just as good a target, one half dragging gore behind it as it scrabbles after the spearman.]
Clearly it's the lack of eating Hojo's experiments. He's proud of himself for preventing it!
