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!

IF YOU CAN SAY THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE, HITACHI, THERE MIGHT BE A FUTURE FOR YOU IN ACTING ONCE YOU LEAVE ARMY BUSINESS.

[Kagura takes a step back from the bed, turning]

I'LL BE LEAVING NOW. THERE'LL BE PEOPLE WANTING TO VISIT YOU THAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY WANT TO TALK TO, AND I'M NOT KNOWN FOR INDUCING EFFECTIVE BEDSIDE MANNER.

I wasn't... I mean. Nevermind.

[As Kagura walks away (how'd she fit in the door anyway?), Izuru suddenly has one last thing to say.]

Thanks for helping out, Major.

[She has to duck a bit as she goes through doors, like she always does. A bit more now that she's floating. She stops when that is said, but doesn't turn again.]

I TOLD YOU BEFORE, HITACHI. I'VE PUT TOO MUCH EFFORT IN KEEPING YOU ALIVE TO JUST LET YOU STUPID YOURSELF TO DEATH AND MAKE IT ALL WASTED. AT LEAST WHILE I'M AROUND. AFTER THAT, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
