Nagato has to bear with the pain of having lost Mutsu once in the past. I have to bear with the reality of my own powerlessness.

Mutsu, Admiral is calling for you.

No! I wanna stay with Nagato-nee!

Mutsu, I'm fine. Go on ahead.

Nagato-nee...

Maybe we are similar in that regard? Even after I was reborn as a fleet girl, the reality did not change.

I'm still a light carrier with an outdated deck and carrying capacity.

It might be strange for a fleet girl who is designed for combat to say this... but I am not suited for the battlefield at all.
