   There wasn’t even the USUAL amount of property damage, and yet he was still getting his butt scolded by some guy in armor! Wow, it’s not like he just beat up that giant monster or anything! YEESH, how rude-!

bunny, i’m just so sad. you didn’t even get into top 3. and i thought we were partners.. 

It had been days already since the accident had happen and yet clear images of the kid and her mother’s corpse were vivid in Kotetsu’s mind. He couldn’t shake it off. He couldn’t forget what happen. What happened to them was due to the incompetency he had as a HERO.

Five days ago, an incident occurred about a building collapsing was reported. The reason behind it was still unknown so the only responsibility the heroes had to do there was to either maximize the time needed before the building breaks down or to assist finding people inside. Kotetsu was one of the heroes who chooses the latter option. Using the gadgets attached into his suit, the veteran hero was able to save a good number of people.. However, just as when they thought they’ve manage to save all, cries of a child was suddenly heard inside. Kotetsu hurried himself to get inside as the clock was ticking. He searched everywhere and tried localizing the source of the sound, however, upon his arrival it was too late. Both the kid and her mother was found toppled over by a ceiling that had collapsed - probably - not too long ago. The hero could only stand there for a few minutes until he snapped out upon hearing his partner’s voice. He quickly picked up the corpses of the two ladies and carried them out before the building was completely destroyed.. The other heroes had done their best to carry out their duty in holding the building up as long as possible - it was those who were responsible for the search and rescue that should keep the burden of loosing the lives of these two.

Settling down the bodies, Kotetsu prayed on for the serenity of their souls - however, his prayers were left unfinished at the sudden interruption of his own thoughts. Brown irises were fixed at both the mother and daughter, oculars widening at the resemblance they both had. Tomoe and Kaede - the name of his wife and daughter - both pairs were similar to one other physically. The next image that popped into Kotetsu’s head horrified him enough to stand up and leave as quickly as possible.

               ‘ b…. bunny.. oi, come on now.. don’t say something                  so dreadful.. it’s… it’s not the end of the world just                  because something didn’t work out the way we have                 wanted it to be.. don’t give up now.. a lot of people                  needs you: a HERO, right now.. i mean.. me quitting                 doesn’t change anything that MUCH you know… ’

As much as it pained the other to know about his full-time retirement in being a hero, Kotetsu wanted - more than anything else - for his precious partner to stay strong as always. He didn’t expect it either to end up like this. He was horrified, surprised, confused and dumbfounded about the sudden suggestion but maybe it was really his time to step off the stage.. A stage he so long to have and had always been his priority since before.. How laughable, he thought.. All the things he hold so dear seems to disappear from his grasp no matter how much he hold it tightly.. Even now, just by retiring - he’s letting go of his only partner and giving him to someone else’s possession.. Someone else’s - not his - side.. It was suffocating but he had to endure it.. Keep it for himself to dwell on later.
