A hero

[herodrawing]

[Guess who's back in the hospital. Izuru got to know the bed very well, and Red Five is wrecked pretty badly... but this time it's different.

He's here because of injuries, not due to piloting his AHSMB. No symptoms related to the JURIA System synchronisation have appeared. It's as if the recent feats stabilized his DNA's relationship with Red Five.]

We've done it! Everyone, we've done it.

Humanity is safe now. Well, safer I mean. There's still more dangers to take care of, right? But the Wulgaru one is gone, thanks to everyone's hard work.

You guys... are all heroes!

I hope it's the last time I'm here. I know this bed better than the one in my room...

[majestic_keiki]

You have been in here a lot. But Red-2 didn't seem to do anything this time, so hopefully it won't repeat.

[herodrawing]

Yeah, it's different this time. Jiart sure was rough... but he's gone forever now, right?

[majestic_keiki]

His unit blew up and no lifesigns were found, so, yes.

[herodrawing]

But you know how in the stories, if you defeat the bad guy but never find the body it's only a matter of time before he comes back...

[majestic_keiki]

This isn't a story. Also, don't you have to fail to check properly? We had an entire fleet looking for traces.

[herodrawing]

And it's not that he can camouflage himself and breathe in space, either... yeah. We're probably okay.

[majestic_keiki]

Exactly. And even if he somehow could, he doesn't have a unit to fight back in anymore.

[herodrawing]

Some stories had super strong people that can fight giant robots on foot...

No, enough of that! I didn't mean to worry you Kei, really.

[majestic_keiki]

I don't think Jiart was one of them anyway.

[herodrawing]

Either way...

Thanks, Kei.

You really saved me out there.

[majestic_keiki]

Thanks. You saved all of us as well.

[herodrawing]

That's what a hero would do, right?

[majestic_keiki]

...Yes. [That smile, though.]
