Singularity point

[Setsuko has something important to tell everyone, or at least people who know who she is and are willing to listen. It's not a broadcast, it's told in person.]

This... this has waited long enough.

The Meganoid trap made me realize that I cannot run away from it. I have to face the truth, and a part of that is telling others.

So, you see:

Those events when I, well, teleported, were not just a one time thing. On the Meganoid ship, it almost happened again. And before that... when I was very young, my family was killed. I should have been with my parents, but I wasn't. I woke up in an orphanage, in safety, a long distance away.

I think that whenever my life is really endangered, something whisks me away to safety. And that sounds like a really good ability, but... I do not know why it happens. I should be a normal everyday person, but I'm not. And this power affects others too, as the La Gias incident proved.

So I'm afraid. Afraid that if I continue piloting, one day I will throw my friends into vacuum or another universe or something. By saving myself, I will doom everyone else, without meaning to or even being able to control it.

I... just needed to get it off my chest. My apologies if this causes you to stop trusting me.

No, I had other options too. As far as choices went, this one was as good as any other. No, better, I thought it'd help me do something with the world, maybe save people.

...I see. Well, thanks for sharing, as well as everything else.

[Ken half steps to turn away, but pauses so he can speak one last time.]

You're a good person. Whatever your abilities, don't let anyone ever tell you different.

Oh no here come the honorifics again

I see.

...

Ken-kun...

Thank you.

N-No worries!

[What would have been a calm walk away turns into a hasty dash of embarrassment. Congrats Setsuko!]
