[ here's the thing. he is...well aware his mind fractured a few hours ago and the cracks continued to widen the longer they went. he's tired. he's wrung out. and seeing her, even as a tin box and with an autotune voice, is both enough to give him a boost and tear him open all over again.

so yeah. he squares up, looking at this woman while he prepares to summon his own personal e.g.o. i wanna link music too because the qte music is a banger. anyway that's going.

and for a while it looks like nothing happens? except there's a very subtle shift. it starts with a few extra inches. about seven or so, limbs elongating and features filling out. it's the shift in his face, the roundness in his cheeks disappearing to something a little sharper and more angular. the eyes change, too, something more almond-shaped than round. it's a weird shift, a sickening crackle of bone and the sound of mental bending under pressure before all that stands is...a guy. about eighteen years old, a little on the lithe side still but still with a robotic arm. it's red, large and similarly shaped like what you'd expect from a gundam.
