A hero's crushing realization of human mortality

[herodrawing]

Miss Kanade?

Mr Yancy... and Raleigh, too?

[It doesn't take long for someone to break news to Izuru. The young pilot just stands there, in shock.]

I wasn't even there. I wanted to go to the concert, but...

Why did it happen?

[Some wannabe heroes try to act tough. Izuru is not one of them, at least not now. Tears start to well in his eyes.]

[Izuru actually doesn't mind.]

You were there too, right? It must've been horrible.

[majestic_keiki]

It was...Even before the end there were numerous civilians dying and almost endless waves of Noise.

[herodrawing]

So even with miss Kanade's sacrifice, we didn't manage to save everyone?

[majestic_keiki]

No...I think many of them died before we could even reach our units.

But she saved far more people than that.

[herodrawing]

This kind of sacrifice is totally different than how it's shown in the comic books...

[majestic_keiki]

Yes, it is...But it was the sacrifice we could get. And things would have been even worse without it.

[herodrawing]

What will happen to Tsubasa now? And the Symphogear project?

[Izuru looks really uncertain.]

Will the Noise be free to do whatever they want and kill people unopposed, again?

[majestic_keiki]

I don't know.I haven't heard from them since.

I hope Tsubasa is okay. She didn't handle it well before...

[herodrawing]

Tsubasa and Kanade were together for a long time.

She's probably crying in a corner right now! We need to find and console her... maybe?

[majestic_keiki]

You're right...I wonder where she went. Maybe her commander would know where she is.

[herodrawing]

I think he has... trouble of his own. Wasn't he really hurt?

[majestic_keiki]

Right...I just don't know who else who.
