[Well, Zack sounds better than he has in a few days, so that’s a bonus. And if you had been out about town, you might have seen him slowly lurking about. See, the boy had errands to run. Important errands. Vital birthday errands that he’s a few days late on.]

Sakura, thanks for helping us out, and sorry if I was a problem patient. I never was a guy to sit still for longer than five seconds. I’d say ask my mom, but…well… yeah. Just going to have to take my word on it. And Angeal’s. Cloud’s, too. They’ll tell you.

To everyone who visited me, I-you know. [The blush is pretty audible, plain as day.] I appreciate it. You guys shouldn’t worry so much; it takes a lot more than that to bring down a SOLDIER, even an ex one. Hey, I think I’m sweating soup, I had so much of it.

[His voice then turns cold, icy, something almost hissed by Shiva herself. There’s no question as to who it’s delivered to, and it’s a vow, a promise, a curse.] And you. Don’t think that I’ve forgiven or forgotten what you’ve done. This isn’t over. Not by a longshot.


Private to Angeal

Thanks for putting up with me, man. If there’s any way I can pay you back for everything you’ve done, let me know.

…And, sorry I’ve been such a burden on you when you just came back. You deserve better. [Laughs, short and sweet.] Always was a handful, wasn’t I?


Private to Mei and Yachiru

I was wondering if you two lovely ladies would be interested in helping me out with a project…?


Private to Cloud

Be careful when you go outside today. Don’t, you know, trip over anything.

[And Zack sounds like he knows something you don't know, Cloud. Be careful. That's never a good sign.]
