A not really that heroic reaction

[News travel fast.]

Majora Kagura is dead?

Just... just like that?

"Just like that" is how people usually die.

At the very least, she died on her own terms. Choosing death over subjugation to the enemy.

[herodrawing]

I know but... isn't that why we fight? To avoid this kind of thing from happening, peoples' lives ending suddenly and meaninglessly?

[abugslife]

It was not meaningless.

The Major had months to live at most. She would rather die now than become one of the PRAYER. And her death let the rest of us get to safety.

Being a soldier means you put your life on the line for the sake of others. And sometimes, that means you lose it.

[herodrawing]

Months... at most?

[Izuru considers something deeply.]

Putting your life on the line for sake of others? Soldier... yeah, soldiers do that, I guess. But from how i look at it, that's not the work of a soldier.

It's a work of a hero.

I suppose you could call her that, yes. I suspect she would also grumble and deny if you did that in her presence.

[herodrawing]

Ha ha... yeah. She would totally do that.
