You mean I'm not the best pilot for the Gundam?!?

[Workaholic Flit has been workaholic recently, just not in the same way as he was before.  Rather, he can be found in the simulators, constantly, constantly, constantly going over the combat footage from Desil's hijacking as well as his own first sortie.]

Again.

[-And a very specific moment during his first sortie no less.  The UE forces defeated save for a single, black machine that hounded the AGE-1 and pushed it nearly to the brink... the Gundam failing to land a clean shot and instead having to rely on trickery to detonate one of May's grenades and then snipe the-]

Hit... HIT!

[Flit squeezes the trigger, the DODS Rifle firing out two shots in quick succession... but neither one hitting their mark.  The mock battle ends abruptly after that, Flit pounding his fist into the side of the chamber in frustration.]

Why... why can't I recreate that moment?  I could do it before, shoot that accurately before...!

[A glance up lets Flit see more footage of Desil's own fight playing out, the child pulling off ridiculously complicated maneuvers with the AGE-1 in spite of it being his first time ever piloting it.  He'd no doubt be able to pull off that shot on demand.  Stupid kid half his age and more than twice his skills!  With a frustrated grunt, Flit gets out and sulks away from the simulator, brooding like he's never brooded before.]

This was all just a waste of time.

Having a bit of trouble?

Yancy snorts as he watches Flit exit the sim-pod and hears his remark.

"Well, if you're going to think about it that way, then yeah, it'll be a waste of time."

Flit? Hey Flit...

Flit-kun...

There is no reason to be hard on yourself.

[Zero peers at him, as far as he knows you were solid, can't help someone one upping you]

A waste of time huh?
So you're just gonna' quit?

[May cups her own chin here.]

Those were far too controlled and precise to be lucky shots. That much I could tell.

You've probably just forgotten something you did back then. But...

[What that is...she's trying to think of that, too.]
