An Ace's Sigh

*Kakizaki can be seen loitering in the hangars. To be more specific, he loiters around one-of-a-kind robots and special prototypes. And he doesn't look too cheery.

Greet him?*

What makes some people got designated some role and not the other then?

[herodrawing]

A little bit of luck, mostly other people... and your own decision, sometimes. For me it was mostly the teachers at the academy, I guess.

... You don't like your own "role"?

[ben_dixon]

You watch a lot of superhero shows, right?

[herodrawing]

Yeah, I do.

[Izuru does not see the connection, but maybe this question leads somewhere.]

[ben_dixon]

Don't you think it's sad that some people become a superhero, while others just become innocent bystander, or some two-bit cop that got blasted by the villain two minutes into the episode?

[herodrawing]

Not everyone can be a hero. A comic can have only one main character.

But... I know what you mean. Normal cops and others who don't have super powers aren't trying any less hard than the hero. They just don't have the same kind of strength, and because of that the bad guys can push them around.

It's not really fair.

[ben_dixon]

That's exactly what I meant. What makes some people become main characters, and others just become supporting characters?

[herodrawing]

In the end, I think it's just... luck. A certain kind of luck.

I mean, for my life as long as I remember I was learning how to fight, or fighting. And I was in the worst ranked team in the academy. That doesn't sound lucky at all.

But I can pilot Red Five. Maybe one day I will be a main character too.
