Hey. I need to apologize. When we were under attack, I was too scared to do anything. All I wanted to do was hole myself up in my apartment.

I should be better than that. I'm a pilot. Fear shouldn't stop me from doing what I need to do. And to make matters worse, I took a job with the police. I could have put people in danger by not doing my job.

I understand if you don't want to trust me. All I'll say is that it won't happen twice. Not if I can help it.

To be honest, it reminds me a lot of the situation back home. There were big monsters that appeared in the Dark Hour too, during the full moons.

[cowardlyjustice]

Never fear! For we always have yours truly, a great hero who fended off his homepeeps from the Snow Bitch and saved the school! Mwuahahahaha!!

[His eyes then soften.]

But yeah, seriously, dude- it's fine. Everyone's get afraid, I mean, you know there's a saying that courage is being afraid 'cept you still go on. Plus, you're willing to learn from mistake, right? That's the shit that matters, trust'll 'ventually happen.

[second_destiny]

That's how I have to be. A good soldier and pilot has to be brave.

[second_destiny]

Wait. Flung out a window? What?

[second_destiny]

It'd have to be one hell of a coincidence if they weren't related. A bit too convenient.

[second_destiny]

[That got a chuckle.]

Yeah, I know. It's Leo.

I went into the military instead of going to college. I had experience, plus my dad was a vice admiral at the time.

[second_destiny]

Wait, you, too? You're the second person to tell me that.

[second_destiny]

[You have a stare for that first part.]

Yeah, I...know that already. I've been through that kind of thing back home. That makes it all the weirder.

[greatseal]

Hm? Well, a lot of my friends are here. Who was it?

Re: [voice]

[second_destiny]

Minami. Her name was Minami.

[all_wound_up]

That must have been why you were brought here.

[second_destiny]

What, because I'm a pilot?

[all_wound_up]

Because you're brave.

[glassworkgenius]

Ah. That sounds tough.

[second_destiny]

But I'm not the only one from my world who's brave. So why just me?

[second_destiny]

It's been tough. But in that kind of situation, you get tough to deal with it.

[glassworkgenius]

You kind of sound like... a comicbook hero.

I don't mean that in a bad way! I feel safer already.

[all_wound_up]

I don't know, but it's still something. I'm not brave or a good fighter at all, so I can't figure out why I would have been chosen for something like this.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Related, probably, but responsible? Correlation doesn't imply causation.

[cowardlyjustice]

Then we're in the same sort of boat; a Disney's love tunnel slow boat. About going through being afraid and all that, I mean.

Point's that stuff that probably make me sound like a dumb -but thankfully good looking- parrot, thing is that you couldn't control yourself so no need to beat yourself over it.

[second_destiny]

Uh...huh.

[He still looks confused.]

Glad to help...?

[second_destiny]

Well, what are you good at?

[second_destiny]

Sure, but it's a good place to start.

[glassworkgenius]

Oh! I'm Taiyou by the way. Nice to meet you!
