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.]

The Noise aren't "bad guys". They're mindless monsters. They don't have goals, don't understand things like vengeance. Nobody even knows where they come from.

If I could make sure nobody gets attacked by them again, I would. But how are we going to do that?

[herodrawing]

I don't know...

This is so frustrating.

[cloningblues]

You tell me. I was there.

[herodrawing]

There must be something we can do. Anything!

[cloningblues]

If you somehow figure out what that is, let me know.

[herodrawing]

Alright...

[Even Izuru knows this is no easy task.]
