Here, Aichi, how about you sit down?
(She tries to get Aichi to sit down on the couch.)
(OH SHIT, THE ORBS DESTROYED THE LAST OF THE DRONES.) You disappoint me, Anna.
We will retreat. I think we've done enough for today.
(As -EX-'s Gundam takes off, the others seemingly disappear, apart from Acht's Red Dragon, which is just lying limp on the ground. Before long, they're all gone.)
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Main Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)
-...Yeah... Sitting down sounds like a good idea...-
-Aichi sits down and looks over to Sthesia and Misaki.-
-It's clear that he's still uncertain of everything.-
-So much is scrambled in his head...-
"..."
-It's all a struggle...-
-...Come on, Aichi... Remember...-
-Misaki sits next to him, and watches.-
"..."
-She's worried about pushing him much more. Seems like he's struggling enough as is, but at the very least he's trying to put the pieces together.-
-Still, she wants to try to nudge him in the right direction.-
"...You can do it, Aichi. Just keep going."
-Just... keep... going...-
-It's still so hard though...-

-Take his time...-
-He nods somewhat slowly.-
-His head hurts... everything feels wrong... it's hard to think...-
-He's with people he doesn't know much of anything about, and yet he feels like he knows them far more than he thinks he does...-
-He knows he's missing things now.-
-He's not there yet. He's still not himself, but he's working towards becoming himself again.-
-He finds himself staring at his hands, and the uniform he's wearing.-
-It... doesn't feel like anything he'd wear... Why didn't it feel strange before...?-
-...Maybe 'Sthesia' really was using him... Keeping him from realizing those tiny little details that'd make him question it all...-
-...It hurts. It really hurts...-
-He absolutely adored her. He felt his heart soar when he was near her.-
-He was her knight, and he fought so hard to protect her... to please her...
-...But she was using him the whole time, wasn't she...?-
-Misaki and Sthesia can see him clench at his uniform. He's dealing with some painful stuff...-
-Physically and emotionally.-

-He wasn't really expecting that, and he looks at Sthesia.-
-He... feels good around her... like he did around 'Sthesia'...-
-...Why...?-
"..."
-He's simply staring at you, Sthesia.-
-The more he looks at her... the more he thinks that she was someone important to him...-
-He's trying to remember...-
-He... remembers meeting her, he thinks... In the kitchen. She was communicating as a holographic projection at the time...-
-He was with...-
-...? Who was he with...?-
-It's all so hazy... Near impossible to make sense of, it seems...-
-But still... he remembers meeting her now...-
-And it only makes him feel more and more like she's important to him...-
-He might be blushing a little... not that he realizes it.-
-Misaki stays quiet, figuring he needs a chance to sort through things on his own.-
-She can tell he's getting there...-
-He just needs to push a little more...-

-She's... giggling...?-
-...It... makes him happy to hear...-
-Hearing it makes him feel like he's falling in love with her again...-
-...? Falling in love with her again...? Did he... like her...?-
-And then Leos and Anna walk in.-
"Y-You're..."
-Leos, he doesn't really seem like he's snapped out of it entirely yet, but he's definitely not like how he was when you were fighting him before.-
-He seems nervous now... on some level he still feels like you're an enemy...-
-...But even so, he's staring at you with an expression that shows his desire to remember... to understand...-
-...He's there, Leos. He's there, and he's getting closer to finding the way out of that mental black void he was forced into.-

-Leos is... sorry...?-
-Aichi feels his chest tighten when he hears Leos say that.-
-...?-
-His vision suddenly stars blurring, and he's a bit taken off guard...-
-...His... face is wet...?-
"...H-Huh...?"
-He lifts one of his fingers to his face, and pulls it away...-
-Tears...-
-He's crying...?-
-Why is he crying...?-
"...I-I..."
-He looks back up at Leos with those growing tears, and he stares.-
-As he looks at Leos, Aichi's reminded of... Waiting...? Pain...? Desperation...?-
-...Pleading...?-
-When Leos said that, something clicked in Aichi.-
-Somewhere deep in his mind he's trapped, feeling that moment when he was strapped to that table, begging for 'Leos' to turn around and help him.-
-He's been crying out that whole time, even if he wasn't aware of it...-
"...L-Leos...?"
-Hearing Leos say that now... it hit Aichi, even if he was mentally shoved into some dark crevice of a place in his mind.-
-Leos never abandoned him.-
-Leos never hated him.-
-Leos was trying to help him this whole time.-
-Leos wants him back.-
-Those words, that simple apology, managed to get straight to the real Aichi clearly, despite being affected by such a thick mental haze...-
-Images fill his mind... The first being of Leos.-
-Leos isn't just a friend. He is the big brother Aichi never had. Throughout the entire time he's known Leos, Leos has been helping him in this strange place. Watching out for him, talking with him, and even humoring his hobbies and ideas.-
-Leos is kind, brave, smart, strong-willed... Everything Aichi isn't.-
-Leos is someone he admires, and wants to be more like.-
-Aichi has been so thankful for Leos's friendship... He can't imagine having never met Leos.-
-He wants to be useful to Leos, not -EX-. How could he have ever thought that Leos was his enemy...?-
-To go against him... That's not what Aichi would want. -
-Why has he been fighing Leos? He doesn't want to fight Leos!-
-As he remembers Leos, other memories begin flooding back as well.-
-Sthesia isn't just some 'Sthesia' lookalike. She's his friend and... the girl he loves.-
-She's so reliable... so nice... so smart... She's been there for him just like Leos has been, and she just seems to have this magical air about her that makes it hard to think straight.-
-She teases him, but she doesn't mean any harm by it. It's all in good fun, but it flusters him so much.-
-He's wanted to tell her how he's felt so badly... but he was so afraid. He didn't want to ruin his friendship with her, Leos, and Misaki...-
-He's been against her as well... He doesn't want that either!-
-Then he remembers Misaki... Misaki seemed so stern at first, but he never judged her for it. She's always so strong, she doesn't take things sitting down, she's actually very nice, she's extremely trustworthy...-
-She watches out for him and remains by his side... and he wants to be by hers as well. To return the favor, and do whatever he can to help her...-
-She makes him a little nervous sometimes, what with her glares she gets when she's annoyed, but even if he's on the receiving end of it he never holds it against her..-
-They're teammates... Members of Team Quadrifoglio... or rather, Team Q4. Along with Kai and Kamui... They fought so many battles together during the Nationals, and they helped him realize that his power, PSY Qualia, wasn't his true strength... That he didn't need to rely on it...-
-Anna is a friend he made that he didn't really understand that well at first. She was created to be a weapon, and the idea of that is something Aichi is truly horrified about. He told her she didn't have to worry about that anymore... That she could live a normal life...-
-He wants to help her...-
-Upon remembering them, everything else falls into place. Right before his eyes, he sees everything again. Every single piece of his life returns to him, one after another.-
-Aichi finally remembers himself.-
-He was a lonely child that was so scared, so timid... but then he met Kai. Kai gave him Blaster Blade, and suddenly Aichi had something to strive for...-
-He waited for years, silently hoping for the day he could meet Kai again, and thank him for what he did.
-He remembers Vanguard, and what it means to him... It gives him life. It gave him all of his friends. It helped him reach the point where he wasn't quite so worthless.-
-Vanguard and Blaster Blade are so important to him too... How could he forget them...?-
-...Aichi remembers now...-
-He remembers it all now...-
-His eyes widen, and his tears are no longer being held back. They're fully released, and begin streaming down his face. Just by looking into his eyes, it's clear that he recognizes the people surrounding him. He remembers who they are, what this place is, and...-
-...He's finally aware of what he's been trying to do...-
-It's all back.-
-Aichi's back.-
-Suddenly Aichi lurches himself around Leos, hugging desperately. He holds on tightly, shaking a bit.-
"L-Leos...! I-I'm so sorry...!"
-It was dark, cold, lonely, hazy...-
-It was almost like a nightmare, but upon snapping out of it, it's still far too clear.-
-He was tortured, he broke, he was made to forget everyone and everything he loves and cares for, he was made to think they were his enemies, he was sent to kill them, and was twisted into enjoying every single second of it...-
-He... hardly questioned it all...-
-...What has he done...?-
-It hurts... It all hurts... All of the things that were done to him... All of the things he did... All of the things he thought...-
-How could he do such a thing...?!-
"I-I'm so sorry!"
-His broken crying continues as he holds on so desperately to Leos.-

-Good luck trying that against someone with four eyes-

<Ah... >
<Uh... yeah, that’s... something.>
