Madoka Kaname
Dad, please. You have been staring at that wall for ten minutes. It is just a kitchen pantry.
Chiaki Kaname
The hidden console interface is humming, and the map shows a breach in the industrial district perimeter.
Chiaki Kaname rests his cybernetic hand against the cool metal of the retracted panel. Behind him, the low vibration of heavy shells impacting the city limits rattles the glassware on the kitchen counter.
Junko Kaname
Tomohisa, turn off the television. The news reports are not helping anyone right now.
Tomohisa Kaname
I am trying to keep track of the evacuation zones, Junko. If we have to move, we need to know which roads are still clear.
Madoka Kaname
Dad, look at me. You look like you are already halfway to the battlefield, even when you are standing right here.

“I got time. Tomohisa. Take Madoka and Junko to the bunker. It maybe a Disgruntled Rubiconan. I know the JSDF have NEXT's but I don't know how good they are aginst a Gen 6 Armored core Like Starlight.”

Chiaki Kaname
I have time. Tomohisa, take Madoka and Junko to the bunker. It may be a disgruntled Rubiconan. The JSDF have NEXTs, but I do not know how well they hold up against a Gen 6 Armored Core like Starlight.
Tomohisa Kaname
...Understood. Junko, Madoka, move now.
Junko Kaname
Chiaki, if this is another lie to keep us calm, I will be furious later. Right now, I am listening.
Madoka Kaname
Dad, you are coming back with us. That is not a request.
The hidden console brightens once, then overlays a second marker on the city map, a thin alert line tracing the industrial perimeter breach toward a maintenance access route near the Kaname block.
Tomohisa drops the remote, folds the evacuation route into a quick glance at the screen, and shepherds Junko and Madoka toward the hall with urgent, practiced motions.
A muted chime from the console confirms the bunker door status, locked open for family access. Outside, another distant impact shivers the window light, but the route on the map stays clear.
“I will. My Little Star. (I kiss Madoka on Her forehead as I head to my Armored core and hop in it)”
