[In those days, particularly after his transfer, Genji had been too self-absorbed in his own turmoil to properly comprehend what he'd felt for Angela. All he'd known was that regardless of how hard he'd raged at the world around him, she remained a constant, a rudimentary anchor that he gravitated to whether he realized it or not. Whatever he true nature of his feelings then, he has no doubt now that they must have been dangerously selfish at least in part.
Blackwatch had been an excuse for his poor behavior and he has no doubt that if Reyes hadn't actively participated in encouraging it, then he at least hadn't made any efforts to dissuade him. No one else had seemed to care. Except for Angela.
He doesn't miss the way her expression changes now that his face is bare and he feels some of the dour mood starting to lift. And when she laughs, he can't help the way his cracked lips split into a grin.]
Maybe he thinks you have some good ideas. [He takes another drink before reaching out with one hand for hers, tentatively sliding their fingers together.] I didn't come here to convince you of anything, Angela.
