It did not take long for Ves to come up with an answer why he was so willing to raise his second daughter into a mech pilot.
"Our family needs to be able to defend itself."
Ves understood that there was a lot more to life than piloting mechs.
He had accomplished vastly more as a mech designer than if he retained the ability to pilot mechs and went on to serve in the Mech Corps!
If he truly lived such an ordinary trajectory, then he would have likely turned into one of many Larkinson mech pilots who blindly risked his life for a state that did not care for him and his family.
There would have been no opportunity for him to earn increasingly greater sums of money. He wouldn't have been able to build an entire clan from scratch that vastly exceeded the power and wealth of the Larkinson Family either.
He was made to be a mech designer.
