Sure, some things are foggy, but Cloud never pinned them down as problems with his memory, moreso chronic headaches. (Or perhaps the denial is so strong that he's blocked out the possibility of memory problems.)
Here Sephiroth is, speaking of concerns for him based on information he withholds or gives. It rings eerily genuine to Cloud, along with his claim that much of what happened after Nibelheim was against his wishes. It isn't like the cruel, cryptic taunting he's grown used to. Even Sephiroth's eyes look less cold, less alien than he remembers, despite the catlike and not-quite-human appearance.
The thought of Sephiroth caring about him in any capacity makes Cloud recoil. It's ironic, really. Years ago it would have had him excited. After all, he was Sephiroth's biggest fan. His inspiration. Certainly these thoughts won't come back to bother him longterm.
As for Jenova, why would he have anything to do with it? At worst he was near her- or her last host, if Sephiroth is to be believed- when they had their showdown in the reactor. He's SOLDIER, not some part of that crazy experiment.
"You're not making any sense. I'm SOLDIER. Nothing more than the First Class title I earned, plain and simple. Besides, sure I'll get out of here soon enough. Or wake up."
He hopes so. There's nothing for him in this place, and so much yet left back at home.
