Performance anxiety

[star_of_sad]

[Virgola unit 3 was wrecked. Then it was repaired... and wrecked again, along with Setsuko's self-esteem.

At this rate, the mobile suit will never regain full functionality. The damage is just too severe.]

I really am a failure... even after all that happened, it's as if I learnt nothing.

Who thought it was a good idea to give a newbie position in the Glory Stars test team? Maybe I should just... go home...

[The pilot can be found moping not too far away from the hangar. It's like if Setsuko was reluctant to leave her own unit's field of vision.]

WHETHER YOU DID FAIL THEM OR WHATEVER OR NOT, YOU WOULD BLAME YOURSELF AND PROBABLY END UP COMING BACK ANYWAY. SO STOP THINKING ABOUT LEAVING AND GOING HOME BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT AND WE BOTH KNOW IT, AND START THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO REDUCE THIS PROBLEM OF YOURS

Ahh...

You have a very... practical look on this, Major.

I'VE SEEN DIRECTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DWELL INSTEAD OF TRYING TO IMPROVE THINGS, OHARA. IT'S NOT A PRETTY SIGHT, AND NOT A THING I'M GOING TO HAVE IN ANY UNIT I'M A PART OF. ARE WE CLEAR?

[star_of_sad]

Y-yes! We are absolutely clear.

[Setsuko wonders what is Kagura talking about. But she's not dumb enough to ask about it. Not now anyway.]
