Update on Sephiroth's Early Acceptance into SOLDIER

Dear Professor Hojo,
Sephiroth has consented to an early entry into the SOLDIER program today. In the previous night's meeting, Lazard agreed with all your terms that allowed for the offer to be extended. R&D is still involved in Sephiroth's overall health and further studies as directly supervised by me. Edin will maintain the medicine and medical details. SOLDIER will compensate for Sephiroth's monthly screenings and allow for any further sessions as long as it does not affect Sephiroth's long term performance.
All other training has to be put on hold for at least a month as Sephiroth needs PR training. It is important that we instruct Dinand that Sephiroth should not receive any serious physical trauma once his training resumes since he will be interacting with the press. You know that I am relieved to hear and agree with that request.
Sephiroth went through all the physical prep with a certain amount of hilarity today. Clarence is supplying him with a real wardrobe and he looked completely lost at the amount of leather and belts. He'll be represented as a young professional but I fear what Clarence will do with him when he stops looking like a teenager. The short new haircut now has an addition of bangs because he couldn't sit still. It could be worse. Sephiroth also got introduced to a hair straightener and almost set the table on fire.
I fear what will happen when press makeup gets put into Sephiroth's life.
It is working. The kid looks completely different. I know that he never achieved the amount of bulk and muscle that you were looking for but Clarance is working with leanness in horrifying ways. He'll be a heartthrob.
Attached is the finalized paperwork and consent with his signature. I'm also attaching the "work in progress" shots that they took at the end of the day. He is exhausted as he looks.
Here we are, finally at the day where Sephiroth succeeds in the purpose that saved his life. The promise to Shinra is fulfilled. From here, we don't have to prove that we were right in saving him. I will no longer have to stand in front of the Board and justify the costs and numbers and then have them ask once again for the program to be shut down. Sephiroth will simply live.
He'll never have to know how close he was to being put down like a monster.
I'm so proud of our First Class SOLDIER.
Sincerely,
Mariella Haynes

I don't care if Lazard changes him into a Barbie doll as long as I get my results. It is ridiculous to share my experiments with other departments. Shinra undervalues the work. They always have undervalued the work. Now Project S is an army dog laced with my JENOVA cells.
Prance Sephiroth around as much as you want.
Make him sit.
Make him play dead.
He's still mine.
