Ric sighed, as the battle had seemingly ended, with the takedown of Heart thanks to Asher. However, he suddenly frowned at his feelings of relief. He took a sidelong glance at the Dust that were scattered across the stage, and stood there as he slowly drawled them closer, before maneuvering the pile into a tendril, and refilling the five Dust canisters as his waist, while placing the flintlock and musket on his left hip and back respectively.

As he walked back and sat down with his team, he continued to frown. "Aniki? Is something wrong?", Tokari asked, but was ignored by Ric. She looked at her brother with a concerned glance, but noticing the unfocused look within his eye, she shifted her attention over to Team HART. "I'm sorry for what my brother has down to Heart! I'll pay yo back the clothing as well!", she apologized while putting her hands together. Shirayuki made the same action of outting her hands together as well, but only after moving Kimi's hands, as the small girl did not understand the real ideals behind apologizing.

However, Ric continued to ignore everyone, choosing to stare at his right hand, the hand that held the musket, before muttering, "Why...why couldn't I fire the Jagdpanzer? Even though I fired the Sturmgeschütz, I didn't aim for the vitals...Why can't I kill...?", he asked himself, with almost a desperate tone. For the first time since he killed his parents, he was starting to feel regret and guilt for all the lives he has taken during his career. Perhaps he needed this fight, to meet someone similar to himself.
