Dear Zack,

This was harder than I thought. I… Well, this is embarrassing. Anyway, to keep it short, I just want to tell you that… you know how important my Buster sword is to me, right? It represents my family's dreams and honor. What am I doing? That wasn't exactly what I wanted to tell you… I… Well… I just want to tell you that… you are more important than my sword… just a little though.

But Zack, I am not the same person you used to know. I… have become a Monster. I would want to show you my true self but at the same time I couldn't bring myself to. I don't want you to fear me, to despise me. I used to ask you to join my battle – to destroy all enemies that creates suffering. I didn't know it at that time, I would be one of them. A monster's objective is usually world domination or revenge, yet… when I began to dream of destruction, you would appear in my mind and I couldn't continue those evil thoughts. I wonder… when you see me, would you think of me as an Angel or a Monster?

Zack, if you want to be a Hero, you need to have dreams… and honor. Honor can be quite a burden… at times… Still, neither can exist without the other. There might come a time when I would need you to end my life, to end all this suffering… not just for the safety of others, but for me as well. Before that time comes, I want to tell you that… that I… that I… I love you. Okay, this is getting too sappy. I think I will need to start over this letter again. I couldn't possibly really tell Zack that I love him right? Right?

Protect your honor, always.

Regards,

Your mentor

*This letter was hidden by Angeal under a sheaf of papers but Zack stumbled upon it on Valentine's Day and he was elated after he read it. Hiding the letter behind his back, Zack confronted Angeal who blushed and denied it immediately. Putting on his cute puppy dog face, Zack showed the letter to Angeal and jumped on him while hugging him tightly and… well, I will just let the readers' imagination run wild. In short, for both of them, it was one of their best Valentine's Day together ever.
