okay so "miles" means soldier in latin, and "andare" means "to go" in italian (possibly from medieval latin?) so i'm trying to figure out if "milisandia" was intended as a pseudo-latin translation of "kidou senshi" (mobile soldier) as in "kidou senshi gandamu" (the japanese name of mobile suit gundam). this would be really pretty clever and fun but it would also be more thought put in than anything else in werlyt.

it belatedly occurred to me that her name is probably actually just meant as a variant of melisande. but she is named as meaning Gundam Protagonist in my heart

Track List:

1. Heartlines - Florence + The Machine

But in order to get to the heart of things
Sometimes, you have to cut through

2. Hey Brother - Avicii

Oh, if the sky comes fallin' down, for you
There's nothin' in this world I wouldn't do

3. Red:birthmark - AiNA THE END

The flower of my dream has already vanished
Becoming a red shining star [English translation]

4. Who Are You, Really? - Mikky Echo

'Cause I've got nothing left to lose
See me bare my teeth for you

5. If I Were A Weapon - Suzanne Vega

If I were a weapon you said I'd be a gun
Lethal at close range, I guess, with silencer and stun

6. The Crooked, the Cradle - The Crane Wives

If mercies abound I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go

7. Growing Pains - La Roux

And oh, I've made mistakes
And yes, I know it's growing pains

8. go to hell. - luhx.

I don't know how much I'll change
But I'll be better than I used to be

idk how much of this is going to come up in the fic ever but there's two parts to a kleos (kinetic-link exonervous operating system), one that has basically the entire control scheme of the machina and one that is synced to the pilot's resonant (or echo). you can make multiple of the pilot-side interface for the same machina but the machine-side and pilot-side have to be carefully linked together. and then it basically puts you in echo-vision rp duty mode but instead of perceiving yourself as someone else's memory-body you perceive yourself as a giant robot in real-time and your hands move on the controls instinctively, like how you don't have to think about what muscles to move to walk.

this means that kleos-equipped machina can be piloted normally by anyone (who knows how to. pilot a giant robot) but you need a separate pilot-side interface for each echo/resonant-having pilot in order for them to use the system.

also the pilot-side interfaces look like cute hairpins
