Tanaka paused. He wasn't quite sure how to start. The man was not in clear stress; quite the opposite, really. There was no particular task to overcome, no immediate goal to see. There was no starting point, no ending point, and he did not have any teammates with him to help him figure out where to take it.

But it was as Sephiroth had just said he could only do his best. And it would have to be adequate. Tanaka set his jaw and nodded to the other man. He gave his cap a tug, planted his footing, and focused all his energies. "Osu!" he shouted, and felt his fire flare.
