Daisuke Ashihara: Q: If you were to enlist in Border, Ashihara-sensei, what would your position be?
A: I think a Gunner seems fun. But I’m very bad at athletics (lol), maybe Operator (lol). They haven’t really shown up in the story much, but there’s a department of engineers, and they make and adjust triggers. I think I might have fun there too.
