“I don’t retreat,” Coco said. “I’ll hold them off.”

“Don’t be stupid,” Fox said.

Yatsuhashi winced. He looked at Coco.

“Save it. There’s no convincing her,” Yatsuhashi said.

“Thank you.” Coco started to head back toward the fight. Then she felt herself swept up in Yatsuhashi’s arms.

“Yatsuhashi! Put me down!”

Yatsuhashi winced as Coco’s blows landed hard on his shoulders—she was too strong for him to hold on to for long. He ran toward the Bullhead, which laid down covering fire that cut through the scattering Ursai. The Goliath had turned and was walking away slowly, as if they weren’t even worth paying attention to anymore.

Yatsuhashi hurled Coco into the airship and jumped in after her. As it flew up and banked toward home, they looked down at the ruins of Lower Cairn.

“We failed,” Velvet said.
