A lvl 3 Mikazuki very early game. More of an experiment for how cruel the system can be than anything, and I thought it taught me my lesson.

1 and a half years later, no more sunken ships. Until disaster struck...

Lvl 45 Yuudachi, my second-strongest Destroyer at the time (yeah, I don't play very much. Just when the fancy hits me), destroyed due to bad luck. Shouldn't have advanced, but thought the orange health and higher level would keep her safe. I was wrong.

A whopping 2 days later, lost a Lvl 20 Ryuujou. Got greedy, paid the price.

The worst though, by far the worst, was this morning. I sacrificed my beloved Hatsuharu, raised with blood, sweat, tears, and love, just on the crusp of her Kai Ni upgrade. And for what? Another Kikuzuki boss drop? Why? What was I thinking? She was red. That's a clear sign to not advance; I should KNOW that. Oh, if only I could take back the last 3 hours, I would just retreat. One little click, and you lose so little, and yet so much. My heart, it throbs with regret.

The wounds all heal with time, and new shipgirls arrive to replace the old, filling that gap in your heart as best they can. But it hurts, and you lose something precious beneath the waves when they sink. Press on admirals, but care for your shipgirls. They fight for you; the least you can do is protect them.
