3rd person POV:

After the battle with the Eclipse Gears near the Mars moon, Phobos, Luna locked herself in her and Yn's shared room, not allowing anyone in, including Yn himself.

Subsequently, after the reveal that Dyson was the Jupiter Brain and that he manipulated Luna's life as Celena in such a way that she became Luna.

Aibella: So what are we going to do with Luna?

She asked herself in front of her twin Gears.

Aibella: Can't really blame her for feeling down... But this can't last now that we know that the enemy is real.

Yn: Don't worry...

Aibella:?

Turning around, she saw Yn leaning against a wall in the hanger.

Yn: I'll get her out of her funk... If you can help me get back in my room.

He says as he clenches his fist with vicious anger.

Aibella:... Are you okay?

Yn:... Will, you get me in, or not?

Aibella:(sigh)

Aibella: Give me a minute.

(Opening theme)

In her office, Captain Jacklin Trudian took a sip of whisky, as she continued to plan out her next course of action when arriving at Earth.

Ron and Juliet did their job and piloted the S.S. Dawn to their homeport, in hopes of putting an end to all this madness they've gone through in the past several months.

Aibella was in the middle of trying to get the door to Yn and Luna's room as the ace pilot himself was preparing to jump into the room.

Silently and sternly, Luna stared out the window of her room while her helmet laid on the table in front of her.

She was stuck contemplating the meaning of all her past decisions now that she knew that she was manipulated into doing so.

Luna:...

The lock on the door released, soon it opened and Yn entered.

Yn: Thanks, Aibella. I'll take it from here.

Closing the door and locking it behind him, he leaned back against the door as he stared at the back of Luna's head for she didn't move an inch at the door opening.

In fact, she didn't need to, she saw Yn's reflection in the window she stared out of.

Luna:... What do you want?

Yn: This my room also, you know? Or did you forget?

Luna:... Go away.

Yn: You have had enough time brooding. So put it on pause until we destroy that Dyson thing.

Luna:... Tch...no matter what, you wouldn't understand... That thing manipulated me from the beginning.

Luna: Made me lose everything... I thought it would be worth it if I stopped the corruption... I just helped it...

Yn took a few steps forward.

Luna: Now I'm alone... With nothing but the desire for revenge against the machine.

Yn: Dyson might have manipulated the events... But in the end, everything you did was your own decision.

Yn: So you can't really complain that Dyson made you do it. Everything you did was still your fault.

Luna: Is this you trying to give me a pep talk?

Yn: No, this is me trying to give you a wake-up call.

Yn: You might have been manipulated, but you were by no means forced into anything against your will.

Luna: Yeah... That's what they're going to say when they try and put me in prison.

Luna: But you don't understand how I feel after being manipulated to such an extent.

Yn:.....

Yn: You got me there...

He admits while moving even closer to Luna.

Yn: I don't know how it feels... Might never truly know...

Yn: But do you know how I feel?

Luna: I don't care...

Yn: Oh...still... I want you to ask me how I feel.

Luna: Why?

Yn: Just ask me.

Luna: Tch... How do you feel-

(SLAM)

Yn out of nowhere for Luna rushed to her side and swung his fist past her head at the window which easily withstood the impact, but nevertheless, Luna was surprised by it as she was able to feel the disturbed wind from his fist.

Luna:!?

Yn: I'M SO PISSED OFF!!

Yn:... I can't stand it... I almost lost it, like you, during that battle, you know?

Luna:?

Yn: It might have not happened to me... But I just can't help but get mad!

Yn: So many people are dead or hurt because of the actions of a machine some asshole built!

His hands fall to the desk in front of Luna.

Yn: I don't need to live through what you have to understand you are hurt...to understand that you've been wronged...

Yn: Or even to desire to help...

Luna: Help...?

Yn: To try to calm my rage, I tried to convince the captain that you should be treated as a victim at the end of this...

Yn: But she and everyone else gave me the "you made those choices on your own" talk I gave you...

Luna: Why would you do something like that?

Yn: I did it to find a good side of our situation...

Luna: That doesn't explain anything!

He flips the table, forcing Luna to stand up.

Yn: I said I was pissed off, didn't I!?

Yn: I'm one more piece of bad news away from losing my absolute shit, like you at everything!

Yn: But only one of us should be that angry at a time or it would just end in chaos!

Yn: AGH!

Yn: I hate this! I hate being the level-headed one!

Yn: Having to be calm... Thinking about what I should say... I keep getting paranoid that what I say is the wrong thing, and what I do isn't the right-agh!

Yn: It's frustrating!

Luna:... I understand that feeling.

Yn: I can only handle doing what I feel is best at the moment and not thinking about it...just...doing it!

Luna: You're doing that for my sake?

Yn: Yeah!

Luna: Why?!

Yn: Because we're supposed to be partners! It might not mean something to you, but it does to me!

Luna:... Just stop it... Leave me alone.

Yn: I get the feeling of loneliness and believing something is a lie. And it sucks!

Yn: Like hell, I'm going to let someone go through that, especially someone who is supposed to be my partner!

Luna:... AGH! You're infuriating!

She throws a punch but Yn catches her wrist.

Yn: I know you are but what am I!?

He throws a punch himself, but Luna does the same that he did to her and catches his wrist.

The two then struggle to break free from each other's grip as they bump heads together.

Luna: You're like a hyperactive child! Grow up!

Yn: And you're like a middle-aged woman going through a mid-life crisis! Act your damn age!

Luna:(glare)

Yn:(glare)

The two stays locked in their position for several minutes, allowing them to catch their breath as they stared into each other's eyes.

Yn/Luna:....

After a few minutes pass, their mental exhaustion begins to take a toll on their self-control.

Yn closes his eyes and sighed, before looking back at Luna.

Taking a step back, Yn simply holds out his arms.

Luna stares at him for a minute.
