[Lance helps himself to another sip of water, musing over this in silence. He doesn't know why the heck he's talking to Mowgli about this, but surprisingly the response .... is kinda helpful in bringing some clarity to the issue.]
I guess... being stuck here and separated from Blue and the rest of the Voltron team makes questioning things like that a lot easier. When you're fighting a war, you don't have time to wonder about this stuff, you just have to fight until you can't fight anymore.

The Voltron lions are amazing. They're alive, in a way. They choose you to pilot them and only you can pilot. They speak to you and they come to you in times of need. I used to be able to connect with Blue like that, but ever since I've been here, it's like... our connections been severed. Maybe it's just the people in charge messing with things somehow, but maybe it's Blue who's moved on.
