Shaw doesn't plan to share Zack's full comment. It's a bit long to read out loud, and it was written with her as the intended audience, not Angeal; as far as she's concerned, it's intel for her to mine herself, not a message to be passed on. But there is one line in particular that she feels Angeal could stand to hear in full - so she finishes chopping her current potato, wipes her hands on a dishrag, and picks up her communicator.
"'It's just like before'," she recites from the screen. "'Him deciding to be a stupid fucking martyr without even bothering to ask how he can actually help'."
She lifts her gaze back to Angeal.
"I'm saying no matter how rational and well-intentioned you are, you're not infallible. You're not gonna be the best judge of how to fix your own mistakes, and considering your track record, you're sure as hell not in the best position to unilaterally decide how to help going forward. He's not pissed that you disagreed with him. He's pissed that if you care about his feelings and opinions at all - and I'm guessing you do - you sure as hell don't act like it."
