[Below is a series of locked messages sent to various personnel in the Watch and the Detective Agency. But since Genesis is bedridden in the Horrorspital due to his extensive injuries, people are very free to go bother him in person. In all these messages, Genesis sounds confident yet strained, as if clearly enduring intense pain with a calm face.]

[Filtered to the Watch]

Just so you are all made aware, during the mission in San Jose, my partner and I faced off against a witch after a battle against a terribly strong kishin egg. I protected him. And because of that, I sustained terrible injuries to my entire torso, as well as my right shoulder and arm. I think this has been the worst I've experienced throughout my stay here in Death City.

Not to worry, though. I don't intend to stay here long. Expect me to return to the field in a week or two. Meanwhile, Fabiola-- if you are well, please act in my stead on the field and report to me in person daily. Neji-- thank you for your hard work watching over my Zone while I was away.

Ah, and before I forget-- if there is a clerk free to coordinate with me while I am here in the clinic, I would gladly appreciate the assistance with my duties as a liaison to the Detective Agency.

[Outer Residential Zone II Patrols]

Your individual reports, please.

[Re-l Mayer]

Hello, Miss Mayer. Although I don't think I've gotten to be better acquainted with you, we are neighbors at the Fatality Condominiums, yes? How is it? Is the damage bad?

[Kotetsu T. Kaburagi]

How are you and your daughter? I hope you both are well.

[Yako Katsuragi]

I told myself that I would take you flying after the mission to San Jose, but I'm afraid it will have to be postponed. I'm too injured to fly right now.

[Near and Mello]

I heard that you both were here in the clinic. I hope my care package finds you in good spirits.

[It's a note that says "Get well soon." Attached is a box of condoms. Even while horribly injured, he will not back down from an opportunity to troll.]

[Sephiroth]

[It actually takes him a long time to decide to send this message and it comes much later than the others. Possibly after a nap and some conversations with the others.]

I am in a terrible condition. It is pathetic.

[His tone is as if he's laughing about it, though.]

Comments

[recitings]

Mm. I'm alright. It's a little painful, but I'm fine.

[itsfondue]

[He nods a little at that.] The mission went okay otherwise?

[recitings]

Yes, it did. We were able to save the people, despite the witches and the Kishin Eggs.

[itsfondue]

I'm glad to hear that. Everyone has pulled through, no causalities?

[recitings]

Mm... I believe so. I haven't heard any report yet. But I'm optimistic, despite the presence of a Witch in the area we fought in.

[itsfondue]

They're definitely not pushovers. Haven't fought one myself, although I've talked to an allied Witch before.

[recitings]

An allied witch?

[itsfondue]

Yes, didn't catch her name and I haven't seen her around lately, but she showed me some of her powers. [She was a bit rude too.] Mostly, her ability to summon lions.

[recitings]

I see... it's a good thing who you met was an ally.
