Zero's only response is a 'hmm'. Nothing was ever that certain, but Forte did have a point in a way. The thing was, failure was the part that Zero didn't consider an option. And if making sure Weil was dead meant not making it out... he could see how his game alt had ended up scrap.

Gate doesn't even seem to notice Zero thinking about things. "Oh, I was still thinking the armor itself would be reinforced against most of the factors involved, only that the shape would allow for easier reentry... most of the heat is caused by friction, after all. And that this would allow for grabbing anyone who wasn't similarly armored... though I do have to wonder why you're not telling anyone else about this. And as for damage, do you mean the folding mechanism? The alloy itself would have to be able to withstand reentry, so I'm not certain what could damage it in the few moments you might need to switch to it before the explosion..."

Zero's still listening, even if he didn't seem like it. "Big wings are a good target to grab in melee combat." Gate was a noncom, after all. Sometimes you had to spell these things out. Not that Weil had looked like a melee fighter in the game, but who knew what could come up.
