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...]

Many ships are missing...

How many casualties did we suffer in this battle alone? And in this whole conflict?

Ugh... And just when it seemed like we finally had a edge. I mean, yeah, that fight where you had to dodge your own suit didn't go well, but that was against some new units...

[cloningblues]

Did you really have to remind me of this?

At least Izuru fought the white unit from before to standstill this time. Forced it to retreat, even.

[Feelings of inadequacy, rising.]

[gold_four]

Yeah, but that means nothing if the rest of don't survive. And if I recall, someone else was our fearless leader for the duration.

[cloningblues]

And let me tell you, being leader isn't easy. I think I found some newfound respect for those who have to do it on an everyday basis.

Barring the idiot who almost got us all killed, you mean?

Though, that new chick was pretty good as well... and good looking.

[He has that look in his eye.]

Barring him. I'm talking about good leaders.

And does it really matter how our commander looks like? You never change.
