you'd remembered that night as if it were yesterday, the day you found out one of the Garrison's Commanders, Sam Holt, a Lieutenant, Takashi Shirogane, and your best friend, Matt Holt, died. the Garrison said their deaths were caused by pilot error, and you refused to believe the circumstances. but your melancholy period of grievance, you met Lance McClain, a Cuban boy with a knack for charm, Pidge Gunderson a girl whose brain overturns anyone else's on the team, and Hunk Garrett, a kind-hearted and ambitious person. you mended your heartbreak, still longing for your best friend once again. but then everything changed one night. Shiro had assumingly crash-landed back on earth, a few miles from the Garrison, and you, Lance, Pidge, Hunk, and Keith, a mullet-bearer with a rebellious streak, saved him. in the series of events that reconfigured Voltron, you found a new family, yet still had an everlasting hole in your heart, a longing for your best friend once again. it was only a short time later that you found out Pidge, your fellow teammate and paladin, was actually Katie holt, who had enrolled into the Garrison cadet program under an assumed identity, Pidge Gunderson. it was also then that you found out she was Matt's sister, the resemblances almost uncanny. you, Allura, Coran, and the paladins were on Olkarion, Pidge taking an absence to look for her brother. you never thought he'd actually be alive. and there he stood, stepping out of the Green Lions cockpit behind Pidge. she introduced him to Allura, Coran, and the other paladins, his heart skipping a concerning amount of beats as he set his gaze onto you and Shiro. his childhood best friend, and his captain for the Kerberos mission.
