Thinking of Agent 4 and how she lost faith in herself.
more deets under the cut!
I saw a comment somewhere that this bitch is very diligent in college so what if after Octo Valley she went back to her normal life. And as such became just another face in the crowd
I feel like as the workload got heavier and heavier, that confidence started to wane. Damn was she brilliant at first but now shes flailing
She takes a break, and decides to come visit base. See some old friends.
Theyve already moved on. Apparently not needed anymore, turns out.
The spankin new Agent 3 is leagues more capable of things than she is. This goblin fought a giant bear??? In space??? Beat the octo king like its nothing?? (She likely didnt have the context of Octavio not having Zapfish power.)
"Huh? Agent 4? Whos that? The one thats supposed to be a big-shot?"
She had the potential to be great, but she wasnt up to par with expectations. Thats all she was. *Potential.* Cant match up to any of the greats -- she isnt even gonna try to compare herself to the legendary Captain, or the scrappy Eight.
Damn. The least remarkable of the platoon. No wonder everyone left her behind.
Tldr.....uh..... 4 decided to pursue a degree and in the process drifted away from the platoon. After struggling in college she decides to go back to them for a bit
Shes already carrying that disappointment for herself from her academic struggles, seeing these new agents (+ promoted Cap3) made that impostor syndrome worse, I think
She *was* great, but I suppose she herself forgot. And with how easy she won the fight everyone thought that maybe that mission wasnt so hard after all.
As the years went by, everyone including herself thought that that mission was just a cakewalk.
Its like.... this activity was indeed hard but it looked so easy when they did it. And then everyone expects them to keep growing. Young genius becoming an einstein
at least, Marina saw that shes worth having around as security in Memverse...even if Pearl doesnt think that shes good enough. (Shes judging her from the way she presented herself. With such low confidence, how can you be good at anything???)
And what if the reason she was so easily dragged under enough for both a palette to be made from her soul, AND create Intensifying Harmony, is bc she agreed with Order on certain aspects
"I will make you perfect. Just like before. And you will stay perfect forever."
"Go on, then. Please. Save me."
