Falling Blossom

[Stewgar]

Reiko's glaring eyes remains fixated on Sada's. Her mouth is slightly gaped. She seemed to not care whether she lived or died. For a few moments, she believed it too. But since that scenario is realer than ever, fear begins to creep into Reiko's mind. She is never one to back down or take a knee to a challenge. There is no courage without fear.

Do I want to die? No. At least not until I have my revenge...

She glances away from Sada and to her supposed 'comrades'. To the other KNF pilots she wants called brothers. They never saw her as their equal. That much has become clear this day.

I would rather live forever. Do good for my friends. Seek revenge against those who have done evil to me. So no, not eager to die. Especially not by airlock or by a bullet.

Reiko's eyes return to Sada's, the two staring at each other closely and intensely.
