"Sure, sure," she says quietly. "That's the ethos of warfare: professional armies that sip tea and salute and do all their fighting and killing away from the civvies."
She sips some more coffee. "A shame that's not what happens in real life," she spits bitterly. "Tell me Walt; how many lives have we destroyed during our last few sorties?"
And how many lives would be destroyed if we don't do our last few sorties?
Well, there's potential that there's actually less lives destroyed, you never know. Who know, maybe us never stopping the Gebians would had usher us to a golden and prosperous peaceful age as pyramid builders.
"Yeah, yeah," Dido says. "I'm not planning on whining or sulking in my tent or something counterproductive swill like that. It's just...."
Dido sighs and leans back. "Our fighting and shooting and swordplay and giant robot smashing has been necessary. As necessary as a root canal. But it's not noble or glorious. And for a while, I think we forgot that... I think I forgot that. And maybe that's what Brye and Rani were really calling us out for."
What a bunch of kids! They said and did that because they're kids who knows nothing about the world operates. And they're going to die for it.
I'm in despair! How kids can easily get super powerful mech, thought they're invincible, and will die because of misjudging their strength, had left me in despair!

Dido takes a deep breath. "AHHHH–!"
