Return from Ceres

[cloningblues]

[Back on Star Rose, Asagi watches the fleet returning from the battle of Ceres through a window as it passes by the station. It was a victory where humanity managed to hold the line against the Wulgaru, and his decisive action in taking command over Team Rabbits when Izuru wasn't available had a part in that. And yet...]

[gold_four]

I think the last estimate of that fight was forty percent of our forces. Even accounting for national forces and what was left to protect Earth... that's a lot.
