A/N: Zack's such a friendly busy body, I enjoy his partnership with Tseng a lot. There's a lot of things they have in common I want to unpack in more works, though it's hard to bridge Tseng's personality as presented in the OG with his persona in Crisis Core. It makes me feel like Zack's death was very trans-formative for him, or other, worse things were simultaneously taking place.

This story occurs during the end of the Banora Mission in CC.

( Tseng leans against the constraints of his seat-belt to place a clipboard in his lap. 'There’s a crossword in the back,' he says. )
