[Genesis shakes his head.]

Angeal and I... we have our own ways of coping with loss. Making him stay with me, though, is not one of those ways.

When I come home, I want to focus on you and you alone. Though the past has made me what I am now, it's no use holding on to it when I want to move forward. Bringing him home with me will be like carrying that past with me. I don't want to do that right now.

He is my best friend and always will be. I care for him, but I have a new set of priorities.
