   genji shimada . / [very positive relationship] ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶) ᕗ
   when genji was on the verge of death, angela was the one to treat him and watch over him through his recovery.
   once overwatch disbanded and genji left to train with zenyatta, he continued to write letters to angela.
   she has received them regularly along with a sparrow feather that he wrote the letters with. after looking into it,
   angela found that the meaning of the sparrow is that it serves as a reminder of the importance of happiness.

   ❝ i got you some chocolates, genji. swiss. they're the best. ❞
   ❝ thank you, angela. perhaps you could share them with me? ❞

   long days of working in the lab together. burning incense offerings. bamboo windchimes. butterfly shaped icecubes.
   the scent of oil and chemicals. rubber slippers on the marble floors. clean white coats and relaxed glances.
   partial therapy. long conversations often leading into the night. paying attention to the sharp edge of
   genji's words due to his accent. swiss sunrises. warm scarfs & puffy jackets during the morning walk.
   writing in the snow. collecting pinecones. vanilla scented candles. traditional dreamcatchers and
   suncatchers. guiding genji through his recovery with small steps & receiving tiny gestures of
   gratitude as response, like a pot of coffee in the morning, occasional biscuits and handwritten notes.

   fareeha amari . / [very positive relationship] (ɔ ˘⌣˘)˘⌣˘ c) ♡
   angela was part of the original overwatch team alongside pharah's mother, ana. fareeha and angela
   have a picture of them together at a young age, pharah with the current overwatch team at the time.
   they have known each other for decades. however, before pharah could finally join overwatch,
   the organization disbanded, and she instead took a spot at helix security international. at times, angela
   and fareeha's relationship is a little stiff, but they are generally friendly with each other, and rarely discuss
   emotional aspects such as family or personal feelings. there's a contrast between their professional and
   personal lives, and that is what makes them a balanced pair. they both take their jobs very seriously,
   and take comfort in each other in their time off.

   ❝ keep the skies clear for me. ❞
   ❝ let's keep the skies clear together! ❞

   two glasses on a burgundy table. one's brandy, the other is gin. the light clatter of beads. hushes stories
   lit by starlight. long conversations about duties that always end in "why do we always talk about work?"
   sausage and eggs breakfast. handpainted ceramic mugs. warm mornings in egypt. oversized,
   comfortable clothing. matching crocs. secrets at midnight. sad exchange of glances when the talk is about
   ana. unshakeable trust and belief. true friendship. both wants to protect and wants to be protected.
   fairy lights. polaroids. stiff, tense shoulders turning relaxed. calloused knuckles and fingers, hands.
   breathless laughs, constellation exploration, digital memos. tear soaked pillows. restless nights.
