He wanted to scream, to break free of his captors and race to the mech. He couldn't, he could only stand there as the graying corpse of his companion fell forward. They had lost so many, lost so much—why did he have to be offlined as well? He wasn't even a warrior! Why was he even there? Why wasn't he hiding somewhere? Planning out some device to save the day? Why did have to be caught in the middle of this battle?
