I fill my lungs with fear and I exhale

If you're looking for the hero that-almost-wasn't today, you'll find in medical ward.

Kensuke lays awake and stares at the ceiling for a long time, the weight of what happened today crushing down upon him. Sure, he had been in other battles before, but he had never stared death in the face like he did this time...
Aside from the heat exhaustion, and battered shoulders, his emotions where still in a state of shock. Kensuke was unsure what to think or feel after a day like that. HE knew he had done his job, albeit he had not done well, the Angel had still been defeated.

That's what was most important right?
The protection of everyone.
The Angel's defeat.

He rolled over and closed his eyes, trying not to left those moments in the lava play through his mind anymore. He needed a distraction, anything to take his mind of those flashes of memory he had long since banished from his mind.

"Because I-" You know what it didn't matter.
Kensuke stood there a minute with a quiet, soft smile on his face.
The first time someone had not rejected his clumsy attempts at sharing his feelings.
He shook his head, as if to banish the rest of the sentence, and instead turned.

"Alright, let's go then. I feel like I could eat a whole Gundam!" Kensuke joked, rubbing his stomach.

"A Gundam eh?" He shakes his head, "Not something actually edible?" He's very clearly messing around.
