One of Jenni's core issues near the beginning of the show has to do with the fact that she is self sufficient to a fault. She's prone to self-isolating, and she tries to solve problems by herself in her own little silo. Asking for help means making yourself vulnerable, and vulnerable = scary. You understand.

At a glance, this doesn't seem like it would be a huge hinderance to other people. However, when you're part of a team and you are specifically tasked with piloting a support machine that attaches to a larger unit, acknowledging that you need help when you're struggling and communicating that to other people is necessary. This leads to fuck-ups like ignoring Tieria's orders when he tells her to fall back during the HRL's Gundam capture attempt and subsequently running out of fuel (which ironically burdened her teammates more in the long run!).

This pisses Tieria all the way off because the person who is supposed to be his support machine can throw a wrench into his plans without saying anything and he absolutely haaaaaaates that. However, his personality does kind of feed the problem. Jenni isn't going to feel like she is allowed to open up and ask for help if the person she's asking is incredibly strict and abrasive. She's not the only one who needs to change.

What I'm trying to say is that these two are absolutely capable of making each other worse.

Some aspects of A Wakening of the Trailblazer were pretty good <3
