[When he lashes out, it's clearly not towards Pidge, but just the wall Lance has carefully built up since leaving the battlefield and realizing just what happened back there is crashing down and he has no way of holding it up anymore. It's a hard fall and it hurts. It stings. It burns. And Lance didn't want it to come out this way, the same way Pidge threw Shiro's death in his face during an argument, yet it's out in the open and there's no taking it back. All he can do is just curl into a ball and press his face against his knees and will himself back to a more innocent time.
Never had Lance wished he was that dumb idiot who fought Keith every second of the day because he was insecure again.]
