tentatively searching idk

[fullfrontal]

So you're seeking a new beginning as well... interesting. Perhaps I won't be the only one sporting such an extravagant moniker anymore.

But do keep your previous mistakes in mind, Mundane. You wouldn't want the past repeating itself, now would you? That would simply lead to the coming of a second disaster which I'm quite certain neither of us can afford.

And please, get some rest already. Not even I push myself this hard.

[ The grin he cracks is ever so slightly fanatical. ]

He is... gifted. Wherever our ultimate fate may lie, he shall prove the deciding factor. Of this I have little doubt.

[ He knows that feeling all too well. He had a similar view of Haman before she started heading down a path he couldn't follow. He tried again with Kamille Bidan... and then he went catatonic.. After that, he decided that he couldn't go on living without avenging Lalah. ]

You have a lot of faith in him. It's a road I've been down more than once.

[fullfrontal]

The road of tragedy.

[ His expression, masked though it may be, sobers some. Don't forget, Char: he knows what you know, and feels what you feel. There is precious little you can hide from each other. ]

Whether it will end differently this time, I cannot say. What more is left to be lost? What more remains to be sacrificed? These are answers I cannot give you.

But we are, and always will be, the Red Comet. Ours is a trail marked by blood, a destiny we will never escape. I cannot escape it... nor do I wish to.

The last and best hope for Spacenoids. That is what we have left to lose.

[ And he knows Frontal knows what he means by that. For the aforementioned reasons. ]

It was greed and megalomania that led to the fall of the Zabi family. In the end, I - we only kiled two them of them. They did a better job killing each other off.

I don't want to see Zeon make that mistake again.

"The mistakes of the past must not dictate the course of the future." Indeed, it is a line I've heard time and time again. Any child would understand as much.

[ He sounds slightly sore, like a younger brother being scolded by the eldest. In a sense, it's true. ]

Your memories, and the lessons contained within, are all within my grasp. The dream that you sought, that every Spacenoid wishes for within the deepest reaches of their heart, is in capable hands.

By my very design, I cannot fail.

[redcomet]

[ He knows that reaction. He's seen it several times. It's lost its ability to be aggravating at this point. ]

I shouldn't need to remind you how much that mindset has cost me in the past. But back then, I had less experience.

I'll keep faith in you. But I'd also remind you that I never rescinded the oath I swore when I became the captain of the Axis Royal Guard.

[fullfrontal]

Faith from the faithless. Lies from a liar.

[ Now he's simply being obstinate. ]

This bitterness I've inherited, this anger—it's troublesome, to say the least. Is this truly all you ever knew? Is this all I will ever know?

...well, I suppose it's pointless asking. That answer perished within the atmosphere, along with your White Devil.

[redcomet]

Think what you like. You and I both know I'm right. I am as incapable of lying to you as you are to me.

[ He scoffed. ] We've made mistakes, and we're determined not to repeat them. But in a world where we've lost everyone we've ever cared about and have faced failure multiple times, we have every reason to hate the world we live in.

I also don't need to remind you what that anger has cost us.

[fullfrontal]

Where your hatred ends and my own begins is impossible to discern. Regardless, I will use what I've been granted to my advantage. There is nothing more to be said on the matter.

[ His tone turns pitying. ]

Perhaps without such personal attachments now, a future for the Spacenoids will finally be possible.
