Angeal had an obsession with sugar. It had to be in cube form and it had to be cane sugar; conventional sugar looked too much like salt for his liking. Cane sugar was light brown in color, therefore easily distinguished.
After many hours of frustration, Angeal went to the store to buy a special square shaped dish for his sugar. Round bowls just wouldn't hold the sugar exactly the way Angeal wanted.
Angeal also had an obsession with the number twenty four; thus he stacked his sugar cubes into a pyramid consisting of twenty four cubes. The square dish was perfect; the cubes fit just right.
Watching his friends closely, Angeal knew there would be trouble when he saw both of them stumble in sleepily. His precious sugar cubes were in danger for sure.
Sure enough, when Sephiroth reached for the dish, his hand fumbled and sugar cubes tumbled to the table. Angeal winced as the cubes broke slightly upon coming into contact with the hard table.
To make matters worse, Genesis then reached over and grabbed five cubes from the table, knocking more sugar onto the table as he grabbed the damaged cubes.
Taking a deep breath, Angeal counted to twenty four in his head; that exercise always helped him to control his impulses. Nothing could be done about the sugar; he would simply have to clean the table later and restock the sugar dish.
Of course, Angeal was careful to rotate the sugar cubes. Ones that had been on the bottom of the dish were carefully removed while fresh ones were placed on the bottom and the slightly stale (only Angeal could tell they were stale) sugar cubes were placed on top to be used first.
Satisfied that the sugar cubes were properly stacked, Angeal left the dining room to find Tifa.
