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.]

Hi.

[Kei came up next to her, carrying two bars of chocolate. Almost like she was prepared for running into Setsuko.]

I heard about the previous mission. Do you want to talk?

[cloningblues]

I heard the last battle was a mess.

...This feels very familiar.

[Ken suddenly drops in from... somewhere, poking Setsuko on the shoulder.

And then he flicks her.]

Well whoever it was had the right idea on some level, you definitely seem to work well enough with the other two members of your unit and even with a badly damaged mech you were able to at sortie more effectively than most of the Genoace pilots.

[Yuuya's voice comes clearly from behind the moping pilot.]

I didn't mean to scare you but I was worried, I know there were no serious wounds on your team despite what happened but it looked pretty bad. But even our units weren't able to fight them off effectively, the only reason I didn't wind up like you did is that I had a shield, even with that we had to replace several outer armor plates and re-adjust the carbon fibers that make up the artificial muscle system. I swear whatever those things are they're worse than BETA in some ways.

If you describe your position that way...it makes me want to return as well...

[a_linear_mind]

Personally I think you're being too tough on yourself.

[dolorous_sensei]

Going home would be nice, isn't it? Away from all these violence...

SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, THEN? LEAVE?
