For the Sake of Cheap Sentimentalism

[So many revelations brought on inside of the Lady's Good Men's base of operations.  Ingram and that impostor Calico.  The Lady herself.  But on a more personal note...]

... He... was right.

On our own, the Savior machines have done decently enough, but whenever we've combined things have rarely gone well.  And it's getting worse and worse...

[Sara nearly disabling the machine with such ease.  SolEraser trashing the machine once, and her own self-destructive attempt to defeat it the second time.  And now SolSavior's strongest attack more a threat to its pilots than anyone else.  The cuts, bruises, bandages, and bloodstains on Mizuki's clothing do not paint an uplifting picture.]

Everyone... I've made a decision.  It's entirely mine and mine alone, but...  In light of what we did... what happened out there I mean...

I'm stepping down from being a member of the Savior team.  I won't be leaving the Unity Group or Solaris, but... but I've gone as far as I can, done as much as I can to make the idea work.  But I guess the Lady's Good Men weren't the only ones at odds with the laws of reality.

Also, just to test the water... do you think "DawnBird"... would make a good name?  For a replacement machine?  Solaris's already made two new mechs... one more should be doable.

Are you sure? What are you going to do, Mizuki?

I was under impression that you wanted to be a pilot for a long, long time.

"There must be something we can do!" Dido says. "Added radiation shielding, power flow cut-offs...I dunno, a device that spins really quickly! I'm sure we can crack this problem...!"

She doesn't sound sure.

...How the hell does any of that mean that you have to leave the team?

[Ken's taken a while to find Mizuki about this, after gathering his own thoughts.]

The Saviour Team was never just about whether or not we could combine into SolSaviour!
