Akane watched as Yeshua's bound form was lowered into the ground. Tired from the battle, and nursing a headache, she leaned on her weapon like a cane as she watched the MFF celebrate. She didn't feel like celebrating. It wasn't as simple as feeling bad for capturing one of her own, to await and unknown fate at the hands of humans who hated them. This was one step in a great many that might someday lead to peace. Her lack of celebratory cheer was from the knowledge that the work wasn't done yet. It had only begun.

Her concerns weighed on her as she turned away and began to make her way back to the main MFF convoy. The invaders that interfered with the battle today, just who were they? Akane prided herself on being in the know, but this had caught even her off-guard. Their technology was advanced enough to hide in plain sight, suggesting massive funding, their training was top notch, suggesting organization. From the reports, they shot carefully so casualties were surprisingly low. This, too brought up more questions. And finally, it seemed that, somehow, they were working with kaiju. Had Yeshua always been in contact with them? Hourai too--the one the MFF had labeled 'Diva'. Akane knew of her, though their paths hadn't crossed yet. She'd been meaning to get into contact with her, but hadn't found the time. Akane suspected a third too. That powerful voice telling everyone to shut up could only belong to another GMG. Finally, but most pressing, she was worried about Yashiro. The two of them had been friends for years, and Akane had known she harbored strong feelings against GMGs. But to endanger the lives of everyone there to fight a losing battle...? It was a miracle, and a testament to the sheer grit of their soldiers, that the battle went as well as it did. 

She mused on these thoughts as the vehicle brought her back to MFF HQ. Back to work, despite the sun nearly gone beneath the horizon. She stepped out and stretched, fixing her mask off to the side. First order of business was to find the commander, second was Yeshua. She put a hand on her weapon and sought Yashiro out.
