"I heard he never takes off his helmet." Reno whispered to Rude, as the cheerful SOLDIER passed them his face covered.
"I heard he was terribly disfigured." Rude commented mildly. Kunsel had disappeared around the corner by now.
"He does it to protect us." Cloud Strife appeared in front of them, causing Reno and Rude to nearly jump in surprise.
("How the fuck does he keep on doing that?!" Reno screamed inside his head. "Where the fuck can I learn to do that?!")
"How?" Reno asked.
"He's too beautiful." Cloud said seriously, his blue eyes bright. "If we looked at him directly, we would die. Kunsel does it to protect us."
"If heard that when he takes off his helmet, birds sing and the sun shines directly on him." Zack added, emerging from space much like Cloud did.
("What the fuck?! How the fuck?!" Reno yelled on the inside.)
Cloud nodded. "Kunsel is a beautiful person, inside and out. We must appreciate the sacrifice he makes to save us."
Zack sighed. "I heard one SOLDIER looked at him. He was blinded."
Rude raised an eyebrow.
"He said he didn't regret it, and that Kunsel was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen." Zack reshouldered Galantine. "He got discharged- totally worth it, though. Sun was shining directly on Kunsel's face, the world was singing-" Zack sounded almost like he wished he could have been the one to see it.
"Kunsel is the most wonderful person." Cloud decided easily, the infantryman beginning to head down the hallway. "Don't forget that."
"Yeah!" Zack patted Rude and Reno on the shoulders. "See ya guys."
Rude and Reno watched them leave in silence.
"SOLDIERs are so fucking weird." Reno finally decided.
"...Yeah." Rude agreed.
