(With Tatsumi; Dragon Ship)

"Bro..." Tatsumi whimpered, crying over Bulat's still warm corpse. The deck around Tatsumi was littered with blood and holes, highlighting the battle that had just concluded minutes before. Tatsumi could barely contain his sobs as cooling rain continued pour down onto him.

"Partner..." Incursio's oddly sympathetic voice echoed out in Tatsumi's mind. "I know you're in a great deal of pain right now and you wish to mourn the loss of your comrade, but we must leave before the ship reaches land. If you were to be captured-"

"Why..." Tatsumi muttered in an emotionless tone, cutting off the teigu mid sentence. "Why didn't you warn me about Sheele and Bulat?"

"Partner-"

"Answer me!" Tatsumi roared, as he slammed his fist onto the deck in a fit of rage. "You warned me about Leone, Lubbock, myself, and some girl I don't even know! Since you were the one who showed me those visions, why didn't you show me that Sheele and Bulat would die!? I might have been able to save them if you had warned me!" There was a long pause where Tatsumi didn't hear a word from the teigu. "I want an answer damn it!" Tatsumi's anger suddenly waned and he was crying once again. "Please...just tell me why they couldn't be saved."

"Certain...sacrifices are necessary if you wish to become stronger..." Incursio said in a saddened tone. "I admired Bulat greatly and his death hurts me as well, but his death, along with Sheele's, are what drove you to gain more power...to become a man that Bulat would be proud of. Their deaths are what strengthen your resolve to become a better assassin, so that you won't have to see anymore of your comrades die." Tatsumi remained silent as he soaked in what Incursio had just said. The young assassin could understand the teigu's reasoning, but that doesn't mean it made him feel any better. True, Sheele's death had further motivated him to become stronger, and Bulat's recent passing had strengthened his determination to be an assassin the he would proud of. But, that didn't change that fact that two of his friends were dead and they weren't coming back. "Partner, we can further discuss once we've returned to Night Raid. I understand that you're probably upset with me right now, but please just bear with me until we've reached safety. Once we're safely back at base I'll answer any questions you may have."

"Alright..." Tatsumi said, slowly standing back onto his feet. "But I'm not leaving Bro here. I'm taking him back so that we can give him a proper burial." Tatsumi then gathered all of the Three Beasts' teigus. "We can't leave these either."

"I'm glad you wish to respect your fallen comrade." Incursio said, as Tatsumi suddenly found himself wearing the winged armor once again. "You're exhausted partner, so let me handle flying us back to land."

"You can control the armor?" Tatsumi asked, picking Bulat's body up, which was quite easy thanks to the enhanced strength granted by Incursio. "How do I know you won't try to take full control?"

"You misunderstand partner. I can't control the armor, I can merely assist you while flying, so that you can focus on other tasks...all other functions are entirely under your control."

"Okay, I believe you." Tatsumi said, as felt his feet leave the ground and his body soar into the air.

"You'd trust me so easily...even after I basically allowed two of your friends to die?"
