95

Axel met up with Lala and Gundam at the inner city pizzeria that they both liked so much. At first, everything was emotional. The joy of meeting the boy who sacrificed so much for them outweighed any reproach for not having returned home.

They let a child go and now they had an adult in front of them. What could they say to him? What could they do if they didn't like the path he had chosen?

"So you don't plan on returning to the workshop, do you?"

"Not at the moment, Mr. Gundam. I want to try my luck. I want to see if I can go back and do that which was not expected of a poor, crippled G-class..."

"I won't get involved in your plans and your dreams, but I'll tell you something. You were a good mechanic, a great technician. If you get tired of fighting, if you give up, you should consider acquiring engineering skills. You had a gift for that..."

"I already have the basic skill of level E engineering, Mr. Gundam."
