[ the jerk back and away is startling even to keith who's never seen james react to anyone in a position of authority that viscerally. it's frankly disorienting all over again, for once being on the same page as mrs. robinson, but the thought is quickly quashed by the next outburst.
keith's never known sendak to be anything but a piece of shit who splits opposing defenses by targeting helpless civilians. sendak wouldn't target earth's military bases only -- of course not. why woul he even havee to when earth's technology is so far eclipsed by what's om board a single galra cruiser?
knowing all that doesn't soften the impact. if the school building is gone, then the group hohome and every other place keith once would have described as hell on earth might now exist as rubble and in the synapses in his brain. is his dad's cabin gone too? it'd be far enough out of the way that keith thought maybe it could have survived, but....
no. there are bigger things going on here than a delayed onset existential crisis. like griffin having an apparent meltdown. ]
Griffin, you're just agitating her!
[ agitating. confusing. perhaps neither. whatever's going on in mrs. robinson's head, her expression stays strangely blank, like a movie reel that's reached the end of the film. ]
I found you and Keith. The others can't be too far away now.... Come on, James. We must find somewhere safe. Then we can continue our lessons, wouldn't you like that? The Garrison will sort out the explosions. Yes, the Garrison... we're not too far from the Galaxy Garrison.
