Not just her death. Until the light cruiser class showed up, he had managed to keep his squad alive through the hell of fighting abyssals on foot on land. Then the cruisers show up and his squad is literally torn to shreds and eaten alive in front of him in mere moments if the flashbacks are any indication. After that, he was pretty much waiting to commit suicide by firing squad until he was persuaded to take this position instead.

True but the fact she was focused on seemed to give hers a bit more umph, which is hinted at in a few other pics like the solo pic of her human self (which I think had the pixiv description of "The smile I wanted to protect, the smile I couldn't save")
Before I died... I think I did harbor feelings for the captain ever since I was in the army.What with my current body condition...

I don't know anymore....To be honest, to see him drown himself in such madness just to avenge us,The captain was... to me...
...No, to us,he was everything we've had in that hell.he's had more than enough share of sadness already...I won't deny what Hibiki has pointed out, but...
