When family disappoints...

General Hetepheres... she actually killed her own...

[Flit's seen some ugly shit ever since the incident at Nora.  But filicide is in a league all of its own and Flit can't even begin to imagine a situation where his mother -bless her heart- would have to kill him.  Or he in turn have to fight and possibly even kill a child or grandchild.]

Those... are the kind of hard choices you have to make if you want to save people, aren't they?

And... and more than that...

[Oh man. Gears are turning in Flit's head.]

... How did they think that battle was going to end? Hetepheres's daughter was given every chance to retreat but didn't, and Hetepheres would just turn around and let a city burn...

Whoever sent her knew one of them was going to die and didn't care.

[His hands ball up into fists.]

What kind of person can actively make a choice like that!?!

[herodrawing]

Someone who is just as evil as Wulgaru.

[kill_all_vagans]

Or the UE.

[herodrawing]

Yeah. We have a lot of dangerous enemies, don't we.

[kill_all_vagans]

We do. And no matter how much we might like them to stop, so many of them aren't going to on their own.

We need to be strong. Strong like General Hetepheres.

[herodrawing]

I... don't think I can be strong like her.

Maybe in the future. But not now.

[kill_all_vagans]

I don't think I can be like her now either. But I'll have to learn to be sooner or later. I decided to become the AGE-1's pilot so that I could actually fight to protect people, and along with that I'll need the resolve to not back away from the tough decisions that can mean the difference between life and death for people.

[herodrawing]

Tough decisions you say...

[Izuru ponders something for a few moments.]

If someone from Unity Group, someone you know turned out to be a villain and threatened to kill a lot of people, would you be able to fight them?
