asjdfskfj; Even after everything, Angeal's still a bastard!! Arrrrrgh, he can fly now, why not offer his help in finding Cloud? I really can't believe how...melancholy?...he's become, though Genesis' reminiscence of his tainted childhood certainly makes things more complex. Finding out he was an experiment since before birth...and comparing Angeal's reaction to Sephiroth's (i.e. burning down Nibelheim), I can't really fault him for going OOC. I don't know if that rambling made sense, but basically I don't like Angeal, even if I can understand why he might be all emo like this.

Speaking of childhoods, will we get to see more of Nibelheim and chibi!Cloud? :O

Heeeee, the image of Sephiroth eating pie while Genesis is crouched in the bushes is so great. XDDD; And that he's completely clueless while Angeal and Genesis talk about degradation is so amusing to me. ♥

CLOUD. And bullet holes in Hollander. Turks involved? It better not be Tseng, otherwise I won't forgive him either. >__O Though since Tseng 'betrayed' Zack in canon, I can totally see that happening, even if he DID give Cloud some suicide-counseling here...D:

Am giving up fic for Lent, so next chapter will be the last I can read before Easter!! I hope it WON'T have a cliffie. ;__;

I'm just thinking though, unless Hojo has spies watching for Hollander, I doubt he'd know what was going on. :/ And he couldn't have known that Cloud would incapacitate Angeal, so he'd need some back-up if he wanted to steal the specimen. Plus, whenever assassinations happen, 'TURK!' automatically goes off in my head. XP

This'll be my third year of no-fic, and I have noticed I have much more time for other things. XD; I even have a folder called 'Lent fic' where I store my story alert emails until later.

And we do know Hojo's penchant for shooting people in the face.

Makes you really concerned about his sani-- oh, wait. Nevermind.

I've been struggling with Angeal a lot, mostly because he went so OOC in Crisis Core itself. So no surprise he's losing in the likeability stakes.

I've already said all I'll say on Nibelheim and chibi-Cloud! I'm hardly going to tell everything that happens next in the comments. XD

Awww, giving up fic for Lent? :( We'll miss you terribly! I always look forward to your comments and thoughtful dissections And hilarious cracky ideas.

Too true! We get to see Sephiroth as a bastard first in the original FFVII, and Genesis starts out like that in CC, but Angeal! He's all honourable until he suddenly sprouts a wing and deserts Zack like a bum. D: Character 180's are so much harder (for me) to tolerate.

The only things keeping me going is knowing that you'll be updating once a week, so I won't have too much to catch up on once Easter rolls around! XD;
