[Zero lowered his head in thought, and took a moment to answer.]
Everyone... did their best on that mission.
[Which was a change of tone from how frustrated and exasperated he was during the mission itself. But what happened, happened. And Zero couldn't deny that every person went in with the intention to stop Eggman's production, and did so to the furthest extent of their abilities, however much they varied.]
It's easy for me to wish I fought alone. Ever since X's been gone, that's how I operated my missions. All I can trust in battle is my own ability... But I still can't do anything without support. I've tried, but it was... empty.
[Zero sighed. Or he simulated a sigh, seeing how he didn't need to breathe. It felt heavy, all the same.]
If I had gotten there faster, I could've saved you.... I was too slow.
But there's nothing anyone can do to change the past. Dwelling on it is a trap... it curses you. It dulls your will. All I can do now is help you get through this. All you can do is move forward.
