“As soon as you see what a mess I really am, you’ll leave. Just like everyone else.”
(For Mr Rhapsodos from Leslie Shinra)
Meme: Dealing with Trauma
Genesis couldn't help the way he rolled his eyes at Leslie's comment. He wasn't always a warm and fuzzy person, and he rarely filtered what he was thinking. If his mouth didn't say it, his face sure would. "You act like you're the only mess at this company, Leslie. Spoiler alert: most of us are messes. You're not special."
He was partially teasing him about not being special. Of course, Leslie was special; he was talented, beautiful, and generally a pretty good person. But as far as what a mess he was? That part of him wasn't special. Wasn't abnormal. Genesis would never admit to anyone, not even to Angeal, what an absolute mess he was on the inside. Some people (like the aforementioned SOLDIER) likely knew, just because they knew him. But that didn't mean he'd admit it.
"You aren't getting rid of me that easily, Les. Gonna take a lot more than being a mess with trauma to scare me off. Try to kill me or something, then maybe I'll consider leaving you alone."
