For a man like Angeal the time he can spend in the privacy of his apartment is a blessing. It's the one place he has that he can escape paperwork, seconds seeking training, awestruck thirds, cadets wanting to brag that they spoke to one of the legendary firsts, and Genesis quoting LOVELESS. That is why when Director Lazard informed him that he needed to move his student from the cadet barracks to the spare room in his apartment he made it quite clear that he was not happy. Zack was fine staying in the barracks, he had friends, it was familiar territory, and it was close to his morning classes. Why would he want to leave that to live with the man that he was still nervous to be around? Lazard wouldn't listen to his arguments though which is why he was now walking to the 6th Squad dorm looking for the boy that he would soon be sharing living space with.

When he entered the room it first appeared to be empty so he turned to leave but was stopped when he heard a cough. Turning back around he noticed that Zack was lying on the top bunk that he had overlooked and was obviously not feeling well. The poor boy began to toss and turn, his body covered in a sheen of sweat from a fever and Angeal quickly moved forward to pick him up and left for the infirmary. On the way he ordered a second to move Zack's stuff to the guest room in his apartment, he would not be returning to that room again. It had become obvious that the cadet needed someone to take care of him at times and Angeal would be the one to fill that role.
