Heart Soldier Senshi
[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a car.
You're wearing a time-worn, windblown version of your uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly levelled to the ground, with few survivors.
But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you?
...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.
Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

Re: AFTER UPVOTES AND DOWNVOTES

Re: AFTER UPVOTES AND DOWNVOTES
I know you're worried,
and I appreciate it, I do,
but... I'm tougher than I look.

[ After another moment of hesitation, he takes a seat next to her. ]
You're one of the toughest people I know. It's not about what you can take. Just . . . wanting you to not have to take the hit this time.
