Squall: "(I liked him... wasn't really a bad guy... He was one of us... Seifer... You've become just a memory. Will they... Will they talk about me this way if I die, too? Squall was this and that. Using past tense, saying whatever they want? So this is what death is all about... ...Not for me. I won't have it!!!)"
I think Squall felt exasperated that the guy who was once his rival was now being the object of everyones pity, in which he refuses to accept it if the same were to happen to him. That's just how I interpreted it.
