Lieutenant Hikari
Kaito is SEVENTEEN. He hasn't finished basic neural sync and the Kingdom wants him on the front line for a photo opportunity.
Ensign Kaito
Sister, please. I requested the posting. House Kurenai doesn't hide behind its own walls — you taught me that.
Lieutenant Hikari
I taught you duty, not suicide. And now Horizon raiders are hitting this station while we argue about it.
PILOT
Then argue later. Contacts inbound.
Ensign Kaito
See? The mercenary agrees with me! ...That was agreement, right?

Ensign Kaito
Did you see me? Three confirmed kills! Wait until the academy hears—
Lieutenant Hikari
I saw you nearly lose your left flank twice. But... you held. You actually held.
PILOT
He fights like you, Lieutenant. Just louder.
Lieutenant Hikari
Gods help the Kingdom, he does. Fine, little brother. One deployment. And you fly where I can see you.

Hikari
Unit-Seven, hold the eastern approach. My brother has main effort and I would like him to still have a main effort afterward.
PILOT
Copy. Eastern approach is ours. He is loud but he is not wrong out there.

Kaito
academy chat has now seen the screenshot. I am a legend. this is the best day of my life
Hikari
You nearly lost a flank twice. It is not the best day of your life, it is the day you got lucky twice.
PILOT
Both true things can share a day, Lieutenant.
