1. [For those who were on 'Into the Crush' - the shuttle ride back to Sakihama wasn't exactly filled with cheer...at least on Tsubasa's part. Even as you touch down, she appears to be preoccupied with her own thoughts instead of saying hello; not even sparing the other members on-base a glance. When she does speak, she gets straight to business.
Given how she was like when Kanade still was around months ago, it almost looks like she's a completely different person. Do you approach?]

"Wait. Even if it's an order, I cannot-"
[At a spot just outside the base, you catch a glimpse of the Symphogear user just as a call is ended on her. It's too late to hear what the conversation was about, but the displeasure she's expressing is clear as she lowers her phone.]
...
"Since that time, I've been fulfilling my duty on my own. So, why?"

But at least you could drop around here for a bit. That's what counts.

That was a command to remain here for the time being. I have no other choice.

[Finally, Tsubasa turns around after she hears this.]
What happened back then, to Kanade, gave me the realization I needed.
I am a lone sentinel; and my songs, weapons. That is how I've fought - I need no one else.
[She walks past Izuru and towards the exit.]
This place isn't for me.

Tsubasa, wait!
[Izuru regains enough composure to call out to her before she leaves. But not to grab her hand or anything - even he knows it might be a very bad idea.]
I know what happened was horrible, and you're not the only one who feels bad about it!
But it's not true!

Kanade was everything to me.
My weakness led to what happened that day. But, I wasn't the only one at fault...

It's true, it's our fault. Unity Group wasn't strong enough and Kanade had to rescue everyone, by paying the price of her life. And I wasn't even there.
I promised that I will become strong so this won't happen again. But it already did and nothing will change that, right? So if you have to blame someone...
Then it's alright to blame us.

But then, she walks away. Did she accept what Izuru said? It's hard to tell.]

[Izuru lets her leave this time. He feels decidedly un-heroic right now.]
