Genji Shimada- A Letter (a)

A sack of letters and parcels and letters slumped over the monk's shoulders as he threw it onto the cold, stone floor of the Shambali temple and dusted off the snow that had settled on top of it and himself.

Monks queued up to collect their Christmas letters and gifts, some left with piles and piles of gifts whereas some left with nothing. Zenyatta walked over to the sack and rustled through the bag, pulling out nothing he shrugged and walked through the room, as joyful as ever. You had received a snow globe from your brother in Numbani, showing the concert hall and a letter from the rest of your family. Your brother had been accepted into some kind of fancy music school and your parents couldn't be happier for him, they did not look so gladly at your choice of monk, especially one that fought for and protected the 'filthy omnics'. One of the new guys, one of the only non-Omnic students apart from you, walked up to the sack and plucked out a single letter that was perched on top of the others, addressed in eloquent, almost royal penmanship to a Genji Shimada. He clutched the letter tightly to his chest and spritely walked into his quarters. Gently opening the letter, a subtle smile appeared on his scarred face, as did a sparkle in his eye. He scanned the page and you had never seen somebody so happy to read a letter, he had not appeared to be happy since Zenyatta brought him to the temple and took him under his wing as a student.

"Who's that from Genji?" You tried to walk around and peer over his shoulder but he kept it out of your view, moving it from side to side as you slid from shoulder to shoulder.

"Nobody, just a friend from before all..." He looked down at his mechanical body "...this."

"Just... A friend huh? You know that I know that's a load of bull so come on... Who is it?"

"Nobody!" He snapped before standing up and leaving to march back into the communal area, as he tucked the letter into a small pocket in his robe you caught a glimpse of the bottom part of the parchment?

It read 'I hope to hear from you soon... Love Angela", a small photograph was clipped to the bottom, showing a gorgeous blonde woman, adorned in a doctor's uniform. A heart-warming smile displayed across her loving, glowing face.
