Three young men stood together in a picture, each with a different look on their face. The one on the left had long silver hair and was staring at the camera emotionlessly as if he would have looked like that whether the camera was taking his picture or not. Next to him stood another man, slightly shorter but tall nonetheless, giving the camera a soft smile. He seemed to be the mediator between his two friends that looked slightly more dangerous and hostile than him. However, the final man was the most interesting of them all. He was holding a piece of literature titled 'LOVELESS', but his piercing mako eyes weren't looking at his book, he was facing the camera and his eyes were looking to his left. At first glance it looked as if he was looking at the man with the soft smile, but at a closer look, the mako eyed man was leaning forward slightly looking pass the soft smiled one at the silver haired man.

Zack looked sadly at this picture he found in Angeal's room. He had been going through his mentor's possessions before ShinRa could clean it out, carelessly getting rid of everything that belonged to the former SOLDIER.

You see, Zack had gone into Angeal's room and rummaged through the closet, finding a box that held this photo in his hand. The picture wasn't the only thing in the box, but the other things weren't as interesting to Zack as they might have seemed to their former owner. The picture of the three infamous men had called to Zack as he had curiously picked it up from its place within the box.

After analyzing the picture for a few moments, Zack shook his head. These three had gone through so much together only to be torn apart by their place in society and jealously. These thoughts were interrupted by a short sharp knock on Angeal's bedroom door. Zack turned and saw Sephiroth walking into the room, his boots softly clicking against the hardwood floor. Zack gave a weak smile at Sephiroth as he handed the picture to him. The silver haired general took the picture from Zack, glanced down and chuckled softly.

"I remember this picture being taken," Sephiroth said in his soft baritone voice. "Angeal wanted at least one picture of all three of us together."

Zack walked up to the General and glanced down at the picture with him.

"You could have at least smiled a bit for him." Zack said while pointing at Sephiroth's face in the picture. Sephiroth merely raised an eyebrow but otherwise didn't say anything. His eyes shifted from his own face to the face of the man on the far right and stared hard at him for a few seconds.

"Zack, I'm going to go speak with Lazard." Sephiroth abruptly said. "Keep the picture." And with that Sephiroth handed the picture over to Zack and left the room without a backwards glance. Zack looked bewildered at Sephiroth's leaving and peaked down at the picture in his hands again. He was surprised that the green eyed general didn't want to keep it to remind him of his friend. They had been friends, right? This had Zack wondering about the friendship between the three and how they seemed really close and how they would always train with each other. But really, only one question seemed to be repeated in his mind over and over again.

"What happened?"
