[Ever since Ken got back to base after Sol Saviour's first combination, all anyone might have seen of him in the time since is, well...]
WUOOOOOOOH!
[Him taking his training regimen to new, absurd levels. He didn't go anywhere without weights the lengths of his forelimbs. Several push ups, pull ups, sit ups, and whatever else he could think of were made before and after he entered every room. And that little gym he made for himself in the 'fake' city which covers the entrance of the base? Yeah, that's getting some real usage as he punches pretty much everything he can. Interrupt...?]

I never said people like them couldn't fight. I just... don't want things to happen that shouldn't be necessary.
...I know what happened to Sara wasn't really preventable, but...

Perhaps it might be the best if you set aside physical training and look towards mental discipline instead. Tragedy can happen in ways nobody can prepare for. What happened to Sara's proof of that. What happened to the Balmung Team's proof of that. And even with the battle on Nora...
Being able to cope with things like this, not just prevent them, can be the true test of strength.

[Ken's silent again, and simply works to find someone to help with getting Mizuki to the infirmary. Whether he agrees or objects is... up in the air.]
