"Yes, my puns are rather terrible, aren't they?" spoke Lorenzo as he casually walked towards Antwon and placed a hand on his shoulder. "It shouldn't matter what is in your way, a [i]true[/i] soldier can overcome any obstacle and reach the greater threat, in this case Korie's Framewerk. You failed that. You, are weak."

"And, yes, I do have a lack of interest in you all, because to me, you are nothing more than stupid children," Lorenzo smiled a bit at Antwon- no, 'smile' would be too innocent and kind, his expression was something far different. Compared to his cheerful and usual demeanor, this 'face' of his was truly maddening. "Do you have any idea how close humanity is to being extinct?" Lorenzo squeezed Antwon's shoulder hard, almost as if he was intending to break it with force alone. "Every second I waste with pathetic things like you... every second I waste with worthless excuse for human beings like you thousands of humans die... Yet... here you are, thinking you are so special and deserving of attention? Heh, sure, you were gifted with great abilities to pilot [i]MY[/i] Framewerks, [i]MY[/i] devices that I created to defeat the Cruxi... yet here you are, thinking that you, who have done nothing but prove that they are useless failures, demand MY special attention and interest? You really are a fool, child."

"Sigma, the fatal flaw in your foundation? Simple," spoke Lorenzo as he stared at Antwon without even bothering to look towards Sigma, "I mentioned that you were bound to fail since the very beginning... I wasn't referring to the beginning of the match, I was referring to the moment you all came together. You are all so incompetent that you refuse to cooperate together. Let me ask you something, all of you... What is humanity's enemy?"

"The Cruxi," spoke Lt. Ritsu as she cleared her throat suddenly.

"Correct... however, since the dawn of man, humanity would fight each other instead of joining together against a common enemy... whether it be through deceit... subterfuge, assassination, political warfare... whatever, there is always a power struggle. The same as there was here. Sure, some of you worked together, but the truth was, the moment you all began to fight you all failed- you weren't supposed to. Humanity isn't supposed to fight each other, nor is it supposed to kill each other, that is a grim-dark past we have intended to bury and leave behind yet you all were aiming to do just that out there like a bunch of barbarians. Were the Cruxi here, they probably wouldn't even bother to fight you, they would probably allow you to kill each other and sit back and watch with a cup of tea in hand."

"You are all pathetic excuse for human beings and have disgraced the dead," spoke Lorenzo as he glared straight into Antwon's eyes, before lowering his hand and walking away.

"Also, my 'baseless' insults aren't as baseless as you may think. They're truths, and your flaws need to be improved, otherwise you are all going to die- simple."

"Oh... and congratulations, Sigma, you're hereby promoted to Squad Leader. You're the only one who actually [i]attempted[/i] to form a group, and survived well beyond what I thought they would. Although, I fear your squad is incapable of taking orders or understanding how everything works from what I've learned and seen."

"Now leave," muttered Lorenzo as he sat down back into his seat and flipped a strange pass of sorts while shooing everyone away, "I need to figure out how to spend my all-day pass of relaxation~"
