Rabi, Lenalee... Kanda.
W-we've got

I thought I'd become stronger, but... why do my hands hurt so much just when I see she's here?
I... I want to protect them. Protect them all, b-but... even during the invasion, I felt like failure, getting caught, passing out, almost losing the egg and so many scientist, so many comrades...! A-after getting compatible with the Time Record, after the catastrophe in my own town, I thought... I'd get stronger. I wanted to.
B-but I really... didn't, did I?
And my scars... they just won't stop hurting.
