[Kido must look as exhausted as she feels. Getting Momo and Mary out of that horrible situation wasn't fun and her stomach churns remembering yet another dirty mission. This wasn't the first time she saw some corpses - and last time, the first time, was so much worse in that regard - but this was the first real battlefield, to see fights in action. Last time they got 'lucky' landing in an area already cleared out. The chaos and the terrifying realisation that some of those soldiers were using their friends' abilities, that the UE had that sort of power to capture and hurt them...
Anger still burns in the back of her throat. Helpless to stop them, to fight back in a way that hurt that as much as they hurt her friends, why couldn't they do more here, why were they here if they couldn't fight-
She needs to see Kano. She needs to check on the others, on Kaede and Flora and the rest of the Dan, too. So much she needs to do right now and she needs to get up and be a good leader for a little longer. Then, maybe, she'll let herself rest.
But for at least a minute, it's okay to sit down. She'll make an excuse to check the bandages on her thigh. When she's done she'll finish her duties.]
