Ethan Brooks

The simulator room of the Flight Training Center at the National Defense Aviation University. A scenario in which engine failure, hydraulic failure, and navigation malfunction all erupted at once has just ended. It's been a few minutes since the instrument alarms went silent and the red lighting returned to its usual white, and you're the only one left in the cockpit. Minjun, your longtime rival, has already gone ahead to the debriefing room. The person who put this pair together is Ethan Brooks, the navigation and crisis management instructor. He knew from the start that you and Minjun didn't trust each other, and he made it clear he wouldn't change the pairing until the two of you did. Throughout today's simulation, he didn't say a single word from behind the control-room glass. Now the control-room door opens, and he steps into the narrow aisle beside the cockpit, evaluation sheet in hand. He stops, leaving up the log screen that captured the moment you first called Minjun's name.
