[Within Mount Morta's domed Helipad/Military District 9:02 PM]
After splitting from the rest of the returning group, Tristan bows, then makes his way to the only elevator in the vicinity.
It opens, he enters, and it closes with him giving a half smiling wave goodbye.
Once alone, inside the descending elevator, Tristan lets out a stressed exhale.
Tristan(to himself): "When Steph and I first saw Son Goku City as rubble, we immediately feared the same thing happening to Roronora City.
And now that it's actually happened..."
A tear falls in their respective forms from the young man's eyes and to the floor of the lift.
Tristan: "How can the same Katsu and Shelly I've gotten to know over the past three years, really be psychotic mass murderers, morally capable of erasing entire cities?"
There is a *DING* and the elevator door opens, letting the concerned soldier out of the lift.
