[In order to get better as a pilot and not wreck a mobile suit each time they're piloting, Ren is doing some good old fashioned physical exercise.]

And one, and two...

[Running laps around Alhambra Base - with a lack of haste that'd cause any drill sergeant worth their salt to pop a vein or a dozen. But what's this - 15, 20, 30 laps around the base done, and Ren isn't even sweaty yet.

Comment? Or maybe join in, if you dare?]

[Some time after the exercise, but directed at whomever seems willing to listen.]

Do you believe in the afterlife?

I see. Whoever created you possessed great knowledge about the practical application of such metaphysical concepts.

What about Optimus Prime and his people, and major Kagura. Do they possess souls?

I think you might be putting too much importance on whether someone was created "naturally" or not. If we somehow had the ability to mechanically assemble a human, biologically identical to one that was born, and then give them life, I doubt there would be any difference.

Also, there are still clones to consider.

I do not know if souls exist. I do not know if an afterlife exists. There is only one way to find out for certain, and I am not eager to follow it just yet.

I am almost certain I am going to die violently on a battlefield. Whatever might await us after death, I will not enter it peacefully.

No. It is alright.

I have chosen the path of a warrior so others will not have to.

That is an unrealistic scenario. A vision of conflict always looms above our heads, even in times of peace. Soldiers are always needed, just in case.

Peace is a realistic goal. It is what I am fighting for.

But it is never eternal.

That is my intention. Time will tell how well it works.

...In that hypothetical world which does not need soldiers, I do not know what would I do. It has been a very long time since I had to think about my future career choices.

The life of a wandering Good Samaritan, desiring little beyond helping others.

I think you might be overestimating how benevolent and self-sacrificing I am.
