Lance stared at his right hand, where his fists were clenched around his Bayard, turning his knuckles white. Though now, Lance couldn't even tell if it was his Bayard.

Frustrated at something Shiro had said, Lance had stormed off to the training room. During training, his Bayard transformed into a sword. An Altean Broadsword.

The red Bayard turned into an alien sword.

All of these components hit too close to home for Lance, sending him spiraling down an anxious wormhole.
