[VIDEO] 005 ☽

[messianic]

[This is a tired Minato on your SFCs today, Vatheon. It's been a few days, but what could he do? Pull people out of their safety to ask them to help him? Distract from the effort to save the city because he has a somewhat selfish request to make?

Of course not. But now that the fish monsters are gone, he has no issues with asking. Because after Aigis' breakdown, this has to happen.

At the very least, he's no longer very sick.

But first--]

I hope everyone is alright. It seems like most of the creatures are gone, but there might still be a few we missed, so be careful. If anyone is in need of any healing, please let me know. I'd like to thank everyone who helped with the Defense Force as well.

[Even if they didn't stop every death, it was a start. He has to believe they can get better from here. ...Ahem.]

If...there's anyone who is good at fixing things, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know. I need some help with something really important.

[For a moment, he looks sad, but then he shakes it off. He's about to shut off the feed from there, when he seems to remember--]

Ah...one more thing. Adachi-san seems to have gone home. At least he wasn't hurt by the monsters.

[...a contemplative shake of his head and he shuts off the feed.

Click!]

'course. Was gonna call him and Jim anyway since they're from a ways ahead of us.

[A firm nod. And... he pauses at the 'her'. Huh.]

... One of yer own then?

[messianic]

Jim too? Alright. That sounds good. I'm sure they'll...know what to do.

[He has to have faith in that because what else is there? Mitsuru-senpai isn't even here, and she was the one who knew the most about Aigis.

...ah. He runs a hand through his hair and nods awkwardly.]

...Yes. She--

[...she did exactly what he asked of her and it was just too much, huh?]

Yeah. She is.

[... he hears the apprehension and isn't too fond of it, so he speaks clearly and confidently.]

Hey. Renton's a bright kid and Jim mentioned they already got bots doin' work for 'em back at his place. Have more faith in the ones yer askin' for help. I get ya don't do it often but how do ya think they'd feel if they knew you were feelin' iffy on the deal?

Have more faith.

[a slight huff because he'll defend his brothers against even the smallest thing.]

She'll be fine, Minato.

[messianic]

[Much as it could be a scolding, he doesn't take it that way at all. Mostly because it's a reminder, but one he doesn't need--he knows that already. His tone is quiet but steady when he responds.]

If I didn't trust in their abilities, I wouldn't have said yes. I believe in them.

[...]

I'm just worried.

[It's a quiet admittance. Being worried about Aigis isn't the same as not having faith in Renton and Jim, right? He can't help that he's concerned for the teammate that promised to forever stay by his side.]

[... To be honest, he doesn't see much of a difference at all but he's said his piece. Still, he's not exactly pleased with Minato's state of being so he frowns a bit before sighing.]

You don't have to be. She'll be fine.

[messianic]

[...A sigh and he shakes his head.]

No. I don't have to be. And...I know it won't help her to dwell.

[A breath. He can shove it all aside for her sake, he can. And he will.]

...I'll bring... [The pieces. He can't quite seem to bring himself to say it, so--] I'll bring her over.
