It's more those who are in a position to do things to save others is what makes a hero in the end Izuru. How many more people would have died if Kanade hadn't done what she did?

I just got back from a briefing that was held because Lt. Takamura wanted to have her own remembrance for Kanade and what she did. The final words she was saying were a will of sorts, leaving her life behind for us to carry on and that she was able to die peacefully knowing that she not only saved us but also the other survivors from the second division and audience. I can admit that the effect was notable but the calm she felt confuses me. I don't think that I could push the button in a similar situation quite as easily.

[Yuuya trails off near the end, his own sense of confusion carrying through as he finds himself vocalizing the same thoughts that were troubling him before he started trying to comfort Izuru.]
