A letter from Genesis to Angeal concerning Zack:

Dear Angeal,

I was informed that you had gotten a student. I was pleased to hear this news. Well, by that I mean I really couldn't care less. But, that is mean, so we will pretend that I was indeed pleased.

Anyway: My pleasure did not last though. For I was invited to meet him (By you, if I may add, but we know this and I will not go into the details). Well. I suppose it is not such a bad thing meeting people. I mean, I meet people all the time. Usually I meet them, they yell at me (you know the usual insults right? "Shin-Ra lapdogs" etcetera – actually I like that insult, lapdog… amusing…) and then I cut them down. It costs me a great deal at the Laundromats afterwards but this is beside the point and I do not wish to discuss my clothes with you (also, it is your turn to take out the trash this Wednesday).

The reason I am writing to you, is that after meeting your student, you had asked me if I could train him for a week while you were out on a mission. This is impossible.

I am aware that you are rather fond of your student – but I am not. You claim that he is like a puppy.

I agree.

He is very much like a puppy. A needy, whiney little runt that has just pooped all over my gorgeous new carpet which I just had cleaned (also, could you pick that up on your way back? The drycleaners say they'll be finished in a week or so). (Also, no, he has not yet done that, but if he does, he will be destroyed. I hope you train your students better than that).

Ah, I am off topic once more. As I was saying: It is impossible for me to train your student. And just to make it clear: if you choose to ignore my letter and send him to me anyway, I shall send him off on a mission far beyond his capabilities.

I hope you understand.

Genesis
