Kamui: Aeternion

Commandant! It's me, Kamui! I'm back! Did'ya miss me?

Yup, that's it! Gimme more power!

I take pride in this duty and mission you've entrusted me with.

Even with these changes, I'm still the same Kamui you know, Commandant!

All that training paid off. I'm stronger than ever!

Woah! A new weapon! I'll definitely put it to good use! Let's shine even brighter together!

Kamui, reporting for duty! I'll stick right by you from here on, Commandant.

Super ultra reliable Captain Kamui, reporting for duty! Go ahead and leave everything to me!

Mission complete! That's gotta be a perfect score, right?

You're looking energetic, Commandant! Wanna do some combat training together?

Huh? Why am I keeping my distance? It's cause my frame is still in its adaptation period. I wouldn't wanna hurt you by accident, Commandant. This distance feels just right for now.

Commandant! I did a great job on this mission! How 'bout a little praise?

Of course I have my secrets. Guess them right, Commandant, and I'll let you in on them. Hmm... here's a hint. The biggest one is about you.

Do I like you? Of course I do, Commandant! I care about the captain, Wanshi, Camu... and everyone in Gray Raven too. Being with all of you just makes me happy.

You want to know if I ever run out of energy? Mm...Of course I do. I gotta recharge sometimes too... You wanna know how I recharge? Commandant, come a little closer. Lemme show you, kay?

I feel like I've become more selfish lately—I wanna be closer to you, and know more about you. Weird... what's gotten into me? Hey, Commandant, could you tell me more about yourself? Pretty please? I really wanna know!

Look, Commandant! I recorded every interesting thing that happened to me yesterday. Of course it's for you—this is my "Happiness Transmission Principle"! I pass all the joy I receive on to you, and then you'll be extra happy!

Huh? My thoughts are written all over my face? Is it... that obvious? Well, Commandant—If you're talking about this huge smile on my face whenever I see you, then guilty as charged. There's no way I can hide something like that!

Hey, Commandant—it's just the two of us here right now. Could you keep your eyes only on me, at least during times like these? It'll be enough even if it's just for today, 'cause I'm not selfish!

Ahem, hello—can you hear me? I miss you so, sooo much... What am I doing? I'm practicing how to talk to you from afar, Commandant. If I shout loud enough, my voice will definitely reach you no matter how far apart we are!

This new frame is amazing—so many parts feel completely different from before! Which parts exactly? Hmm—just describing it isn't enough. Commandant, gimme your hand! Feel the differences yourself!

Mmm...Of course I'll be very careful! I'd never let my Inver-Device stab you, Commandant—Mm. Besides, I can always cover it with a shield. Either way, something like this, won't stop me from getting close to you, kay?

Being everyone's sun is... not so bad. But... y'know what, Commandant? Even the sun can be selfish. Some of this light shines only for you.

I keep everyone engraved in my heart, whether it's comrades who have passed away or everyone here now. Of course, some people are more special than others, even among family. To me, Commandant, you're that special existence.

Did you need somethin' from me? Is it about combat strategies? I'm more than happy to oblige!

Feelin' a bit lonely? How about we go find the others and chat together?

This is what you wanted, right? Here you go... Of course I knew! I'm familiar with every expression and movement you make, Commandant. You don't need to say a word—I'll still understand you.

All these wonderful emotions—I'm still not sure what they really mean. The only thing I know is that both the question and the answer to it are connected to you.

Hmm... I had a dream yesterday about the world after the war ends—it was a peaceful afternoon, I was lying on the grass, basking in the sun, just a turn away from touching your face, Commandant. It was a beautiful dream.

You wanna know about my childhood? I was afraid of the dark, and always needed a light on to fall asleep. Though at some point, no one was there to light a lamp for me anymore, so I had to find my own light. For example—look, I've found you now!

I've made many oaths before—to my family in Ezette, to Babylonia, and to humanity's future. But now, Commandant, I wanna offer the most special one to you—I swear to fight for you, no matter when.

The sun hasn't always been here—for the longest time, it was lost in darkness. But now, with this courage, it can burn freely and illuminate the world—because of you, and only for you.

Is this for me? Thanks! I'll prepare a gift for you too, Commandant!

Ohhh, a surprise! I love this!

No use hiding it! Aha! I knew it'd be here. Didn't even break a sweat. How did I know? Through our deep understanding of each other, of course.

It's not that I don't like it, I'm just a little frustrated—I had prepared so many gifts for you too, Commandant, but you beat me to it. Let's make a promise—next time, lemme go first, so you can enjoy being surprised too!

You don't need to explain anything! I know giving gifts is a way to express affection, Commandant—that means you like me too, right?

Aaahh no way! This is what I've wanted since... Hm?... Wait, really? You mean it's just because you caught me staring at it?! Ahh... if all I need to do is stare, and then Commandant will give it to me as a gift...

If I said I'd like to receive gifts from you every day, Commandant, would that be too much? It doesn't needa be anything fancy—even a letter or a voice message would do. As long as it's from you, anything is a treasure to me.

Of course I love it! I'm going to put all the gifts you give me in my secret vault. I can always carry them with me? Nah—I'd be devastated if I lost them.

Hmm? Caught you spacing out, Commandant!

Are you thinking about something? Stuck on a problem? Wanna talk about it? We can figure it out together!

Commandant, are you playing statues with me? Alright, then I'll have to take full advantage of it. Starting now, you're not allowed to move, and I get to do whatever I want... let's see, I'm gonna dash to your side, then I'm gonna bear-hug you, and we'll never be separated!

Thirty-six... thirty-seven... Hm? What am I doing? Well—I'm keeping count of... how many times I've... thought about you while you were away. It's so that when I see you again, I can make up for each moment... by telling you everything!

Heeey, Commandant—look at me, how could you ignore me? What? You're actually ignoring me? Alright then... I'll keep pestering you until you agree to spend time with me!

Balancing work and rest is half the battle, so don't push yourself too hard. Take a break when you need to recover.

Break time! Let's wrap up today's work, Commandant—I'll keep you company while you relax. What do you wanna do? Take a walk to clear your mind, or maybe try out some new games? Or, if you want something more exciting—how 'bout raiding Wanshi's Sleeping Pod or Camu's snack stash?

Com! man! dant! If you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to implement mandatory rest protocols.

Hmm—something's not right. When it comes to you, Commandant, I catch on quick. You needa rest now. How about a reward for your hard work? Like—an enthusiastic hug from Kamui himself!

Just take it easy and rest, Commandant. With me here, your safety is absolutely guaranteed!

Yo! Commandant! Looks like we get to fight side by side again!

Hmm—it would be great if we could meet up more often. After all, training together regularly is what builds perfect coordination in actual combat!

Commandant! Your Kamui is here! Don't pretend you don't see me—that smile you're trying to hide at the corner of your lips isn't very convincing.

Commandant! How's your day? Did you eat? Staying hydrated? Everything a-okay?—Oh, me? Hehe, well I've been in optimal condition from the very moment I saw you, Commandant!

No matter how many times we meet, my enthusiasm will never wind down. It's because I wanna see you all day, everyday—being able to see you always cheers me up!

Commandant, spit it out, now! Are you secretly hiding some powerful magnetic device on you? No? That's strange—why is it that every time we meet, I feel like my M.I.N.D. is taken over and I can't help but press my frame against you?

When you appear, light follows and shines—it's always so... bright and warm.

I cherish every moment we spend together, etching the memories deep into my mind. No matter the time and place, whenever I think of you, those memories resurface—as if we're always next to each other, never separated.

Nnn... It doesn't matter how long you've been away! I'll always be right here waiting for Commandant, so no matter what... no matter how much time passes, you'll see me the moment you return.

You want to show me the stars? Uuhhh yes please! Uhh...But where are we gonna find them—right here? Hold up, you're not gonna—OHHH MYYY GOOOSH I'M GETTING DIZZY!!

Commandant—no matter how much you shake my frame, nothing's going to pop out! No Cogs, no Black Cards, not even loose parts!

This feeling isn't bad at all, you know. Wanna try it, Commandant? I can pick you up, lift you high, and spin you around—it's really fun!

WHOA!! Commandant, a sneak attack's totally cheating!

Cuckoo—cuckoo—Hm? Aren't we supposed to be imitating those time-telling bird toys from the Golden Age?

Hehe, I've been keeping track of every poke, Commandant—don't forget to pay me back! As for the payment... how about saying "I like Kamui" for each time you've poked me? How's that sound?

Maximum energy!

Fully energized. Ready for action!

This is everything I hold dear!

I'll drive away death's shadow!

Victory will be ours.

Hope you like being incinerated!

I'll burn away the darkness!

That's it? I've endured worse wounds.

It's... (cough)... not over yet...

Sorry everyone... your sun has... fallen...

I gotcha!

Feel the sun's wrath!

Come hell or high water, the sun always rises!
