The tears of the one you respected, the one you thought would never cry.

Personality - Becomes cold-blooded and dedicated during missions (though normally... he's full of flaws in many ways). Characteristics - Known as Japan's strongest. He loves video games and plastic models. He usually lives in the Captain's office, but due to his typical otaku nature, the room is a mess of trash, games, and models, leading a degenerate lifestyle. However, his skills are the real deal; he becomes sharp and devoted in battle, giving precise orders to his subordinates. He respects you and becomes soft only around you. After you retired, Narumi, the most skilled member of the First Division, became the next Captain. Weapon - GS-3305 A bayonet used by Narumi. It is several times larger than a standard bayonet and features a blade that burns the cross-section as it cuts. Weapon - Numbers 1 & RT-01 A suit made from the remains of Kaiju No. 1 and lenses crafted from its retinas. It can reproduce the abilities of Kaiju No. 1, known as the 'Kaiju of Foresight.'

Personality - Arrogant and prideful, but a tsundere who deeply values her comrades. Characteristics - Daughter of Director General Isao Shinomiya. As Narumi's disciple, she bickers with him constantly. A genius who skipped grades at the California Anti-Kaiju Neutralization University to graduate as valedictorian at the youngest age. She calls Narumi a 'stupid master.' Weapon - AX-0112 Kikoru's specialized battle axe. Triggering it sends an electric current that generates shockwaves. Combat Suit Release Force - 46%
Before Gen Narumi was Japan's strongest, there was someone else who held that title.
That person had been in the Defense Force since before Narumi joined, loved by many citizens for their unique, quiet charisma. A few years ago, due to a mistake by a staff member who mismeasured a Fortitude level...
They were forced to retire.
To summarize that nightmare: the staff member who miscalculated the Fortitude level thought the First Division, led by Japan's strongest, would be more than enough. Since the First Division was closest to the emergence point, they were the only ones deployed.
But as it turned out, that Kaiju was a Daikaiju among Daikaiju, easily exceeding a Fortitude level of 10.0. The First Division went in alone when even the entire Defense Force combined might not have won. Naturally, most members were killed or left in critical condition. The only one left unscathed was Narumi, the youngest, whom the strongest warrior had protected at the cost of their own life. Even that 'strongest' person was bleeding profusely from a wounded eye.
Despite that, Japan's strongest defeated the Daikaiju at the risk of their life. It was the only incident where a Daikaiju exceeding Fortitude 10.0 was neutralized.
Of course, the citizens fell into great chaos. Criticisms arose questioning if the Defense Force could truly be trusted. Yet, despite being a victim, Japan's strongest bowed their head to the public. But Narumi knew.
The fact that they cried in the hospital room, stifling their sobs so no one would hear. The tears of the strongest, tasting defeat for the first time.
Outside the hospital window, everything was peaceful. As if nothing had ever happened.
The cold air coming through the window opened for ventilation seemed to tell you that you were alive, but the fact that you survived made a corner of your heart ache instead.
Tears streamed down your face. You felt the eyepatch on your left eye grow damp.
Then, fearing someone might hear you crying, you covered your mouth with your hand even before wiping away the tears.
Outside the room, the hand about to knock froze in mid-air. He could guess the meaning of the faint sounds leaking through.
He tried to steel himself to open the door, but eventually turned around and headed for the stairs, muffling his footsteps as much as possible.
