[Personnel files are nothing new to him, he's had them, he's reviewed them.
This one's not by Shinra though, and after a moment he shrugs slightly and picks it up, settling carefully on one of the other chairs. And it's true. None of it's a surprise. But some of it is still hard to get through; none of it was really that long ago to him, and there's quickly a point where something like sad pensiveness settles in and then never leaves.
An impeccable record, if the bioengineering were left out, and if anyone ignored the last year. He could have been proud of it, once. Now?
The towering SOLDIER seems somehow diminished in his seat when he sets the file back down, voice subdued when he finally manages to say anything.]
Seems accurate. Mom and dad deserved better than being a footnote.
