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?"

I see. With Kanade gone, you're the only Symphogear user left...

It must be really hard. In more ways than one.

[sakimori]

I promised myself that I wouldn't allow what happened back then to repeat itself...

If that means becoming nothing more than a sword, then so be it.

[cloningblues]

Are you really okay with that? Just being a weapon, and nothing else?

[sakimori]

Compared to Kanade's sacrifice, this much is nothing.

[cloningblues]

I know, but... She did it only because it was necessary. Is what you're doing necessary too?

[sakimori]

It's as you've said: I am the only one capable of using the Symphogear in the 2nd Division.

There is no one else, and I'd rather it stay that way.

[cloningblues]

Wouldn't it be better if you had backup? Someone to watch your back and lighten your load, so you won't have to do everything by yourself?

[sakimori]

I'm more than prepared to shoulder that responsibility alone.

That is how I've been fighting, and I don't intend to change it.

[cloningblues]

...If that's your decision.
