1: [Although the Chimaera were repelled from Sakihama the mission was an absolute disaster for at least one of the members on it. As the damaged machines are returned to Sakihama, Strahlend shambles in resembling can only be described as a complete wreck. As Willis manages to climb down from the cockpit of the broken remains of Strahlend the injuries that he personally sustained are very apparent. Several large chunks of his body were missing from the impalement he suffered  and his arm hung on only by a thread. Despite this he began to limp towards the now empty Amagahara.

Once again he was betrayed by his friends, someone he had trusted had been responsible for everything and even now he had no idea why she did it. Every step he took reminded him of this until he reached the base of the original now function-less U.I.I.N machine. ]

Elys...

[He continued to stand in that single place, waiting and staring at the cockpit hoping that she would reform or emerge from it.]

[At the same time another person returns to Sakihama as well, a familiar to some machine lands in the hangar and the woman indirectly responsible for what had happened emerges from it.]

"Willis..."

[As she spots him she hesitates to move, even though it seemed like everything would finally go right her actions had led to the situation they were in now.]

[Despite the fact that he knew Seta was right he couldn't respond. The amount of times he had casually thrown his life into the face of danger were countless at this point.]

[The Kijin looks ahead - at what remains of Elys' machine.]

I believe...both of us know what it is like to have made such a decision.

...What did she tell you?

[a_linear_mind]

She told me to live well...

[caressedthedarkness]

You understand what that means, do you not?

It is your duty now.
