No, I don’t suppose it would. It would make me feel that way too. And that’s okay. I think it’s natural, especially for men like us to feel that.

But Shiro - it really isn’t all your fault. And it took me awhile to accept this, but, it’s egotistical to even think that it is.

I know you, Shiro. And I know that you did the best you could. You wouldn’t give it anything other than a hundred and ten percent. And it - it hurts so much when that’s not enough. But the reality is sometimes it’s not. But even then, we keep giving a hundred and ten. Because that’s who we are, and what we do, and what the people around us deserve. Because the next time that hundred and ten might just be enough.

For as many times as it didn’t work out, they managed to pull off the impossible. More often than not, really. But reality wasn’t always a happy ending, and that cut deep. But you had to keep going, always, no matter how much it hurt. ]
