"Yeah." His tone was somber again. He knew exactly what that was like. He'd become a 1st class when Genesis and Angeal left Shinra. He had thought he would have been happy, but he hadn't been.
"I thought the day that I became a SOLDIER 1st class would be a happy day for me. Instead it was thrust upon me out of necessity." Stupid Angeal for listening to Genesis and thinking he was a monster. Stupid Sephiroth for pushing missions off on him. He was surprised that he remembered those feelings so quickly, but he pushed them aside. He thought that he'd forgiven Angeal. He sighed and closed his eyes as he pressed the flat of the blade of the buster sword, still in his hands, to his forehead.
"Embrace your dreams," he spoke quietly. "And whatever happens, protect your honor." It had been SOLDIER honor when he'd said it to the infantrymen troops before their mission to Nibelheim. Now it was just your honor. He opened his eyes and raised the sword with his right arm. He stared at it fondly for a moment, before he lowered it and gently let the tip rest on the sand.
"Surely there's something you want," he gently pushed again.
