#hoshina pushing past his limits for the sake of his captain being able to destroy no10?

[narugen-moved]

thinking about this post i made (anime only’s there are spoilers for manga) and with the release of episode 10

i can't even imagine how mina felt when she came back to HER base in ruins, her men injured, or worse - dead. she came back to her base destroyed, and her second in command on the verge of death.

do i think mina's faith in hoshina is so little that she thinks he would have died? no. do i think that she was terrified regardless, seeing everybody risk their lives - especially hoshina, the person she kept by her side for years, almost get himself killed for the sake of the division and for her? yes.

this shot in particular (which was not in the manga) makes me wonder if mina was thinking: ah. here we go again. everybody's risking their lives down there and i'm up here. alone. i have to do well. i have to make my mark.

it's just so important to remember mina quite literally almost lost her home base, her childhood friend, and her vice-captain overnight.
