Templum Bellonae

After the war, Heero is sent back to live with his birth family. Hands is told from the perspective of his sister, and is an amazing picture of what it might really be like for an ordinary family to live with a Gundam pilot. Excellent characterizations.

My brother is a Gundam pilot. I know, I know, what I should say is that my brother was a Gundam pilot, but once you ever saw to way he prowls into a room, upright and with his shoulders thrust so far back that you thought his back curved the wrong way, you’d see what I mean.
