Kids b-being forced to do adult things doesn't make them adults.
[Does she ever know it. Maybe you grew up quick, but the point is you shouldn't have to. It shouldn't be expected of you.
Fukawa's teeth grit hard enough to crack. She's touched a nerve, maybe, or insulted Sakura somehow. If she's needing to defend her skills she must feel like they're in question. A retort is strangled midway out her mouth, ending in twisted lips and nothing said. She tries again.]
I'm n-not saying you're incompetent! Sheesh, I'm just — sacrifice. I don't abide b-by that. If they were all as young as you, how can I accept that at all? I'm so t-tired of war. I hate that soldier mentality. People sh-should be allowed to ch-choose what they become. When they're old enough to pick it. Not just sold some picture of honour and glory while th-they're still young enough to believe in that crap.

I'm just...you d-don't... [Come on, isn't this obvious? Shouldn't it go without saying?] You should have h-had a chance to live peacefully, at that age. Not b-been held responsible for some maniac's antics.
things should stop happening for her too tbh, time for beach vacation
