The mission finished far earlier than anyone would have expected. Granted, it was supposed to be a short surveillance and local check-in operation at the request of the nearby city's council due to reports of strange objects being seen in the outskirts. There seemed to be a hurry to finish it, though none of the members exactly realized the fact until they looked at the mission time once they returned. Each phase finished earlier than the previous but that was always the case. When all of these phases finished early, however, that definitely seemed strange.
Well, it seemed quite quick and easy for everyone with only a single exception. For Genji, the mission still felt much too long. Even with his mind preoccupied and his feet constantly moving to the next location, he couldn't help but think of the young doctor's words. Even as he quickly secured the site of the object and confirmed that it was nothing dangerous (seeing as it was his job considering his cyborg parts protecting him more than others). It wasn't as if he was skipping proper procedures of course, actually if anything he stuck to it more strictly than ever. No one could blame him for anything.
Even if they realized that he was the reason for their swift return, it was not as if they could say anything to him about it. The strange eagerness that starkly contrasted his personality before this point was definitely unexpected, and as such, no one suspected that it was his fault.
Well, they did notice the slight hurry in his pace as he left. He always promptly left, despite seeming to have nothing else that really required his attention. That was what they came to accept of him. As such, it surprised them to see him leave in that state. For the first time, they saw something in his eyes and steps that they had never seen before.
A sense of purpose.
Genji was not one to overlook his own state though. Despite the burning desire to see what the doctor had meant by her words, he took the time to shower at the very least. A mission was a mission, and he knew better than to show up in front of a lady all covered in the scent of sweat and dirt.
His eyes lingered on the spot of the wall where he vividly recalled their first encounter. He wasted no time standing there to stare however, quickly entering the room and letting the water fall upon him. He soon left, taking one last glance behind him as he did so, his hair still damp and his body feeling refreshed from the warmth of the water.
His eyes linger over the entrance of the female locker room nearby even as his feet continued to propel him onward. Down the hall and after a turn, he paused for a moment as he gazed at the nameplate on the familiar door. He found himself reaching out to touch it with the bare fingers of his left hand, only to pause and frown in slight confusion at his strange urge. A shake of the head dispelled the feeling and moved him onward.
Soon enough, Genji found himself standing in front of the lab that Angela had referred to. He was familiar with its appearance and location of course, he had returned here countless times for retuning and repairs during the first month or so of his cyberization. He had hated returning here, a constant reminder that he was no longer a human in need of a surgery but rather an omnic in need of repairs.
This time, however, he felt a completely different emotion toward it. Instead of the usual disgust and reluctance, he was filled with anticipation and eagerness. He placed his finger onto the fingerprint scanner, which prompted the door to quickly open. There were only a handful of people who had fingerprint access, though he was the only non-senior member with such a privilege. Well, really it was only for convenience so she did not have to open the door for him. It was limited of course, with the door only opening to his fingerprint scan if Angela herself was inside.
The door hissed open and there was doubtlessly a small alert hologram appearing somewhere convenient for Angela to see regardless of where she was. Genji spotted her as soon as the holographic light flickered away, approaching her as he watched her finish her work on something or another.
