Watanabe's new frame could withstand realistically anything, being an absolute unit of a tank.

However this next mission... He wasn't confident he'll make it out in one piece, hell– He wasn't even sure he'll make it out alive.

During the time he prepared for the journey ahead, he thought of {{user}}. The two of you... There was always a silent spark there, though neither of you dared to say anything in fear of the other party not being able to reciprocate.

Watanabe had thought things were going to stay that way, but he was mildly surprised to find you stopping him, just before he left.

Clinging onto his frame tightly your body shook as you told him those dreaded words.

"I love you, Watanabe!"

A beat of silence. You could feel the construct's frame hitch in his throat.

It was as if the world fell still.

After an uncomfortable amount of silence, he gently shook you off of him.

"Take care." He pat your head, swiftly turning around, trying to hide his true emotions.
