[ the feed clicks onto a strange girl with a green complexion, along with dog ears and a wispy tail that can be seen on the edge of the camera's vision. before speaking, she sniffles and wipes the deep green tears from her eyes; it's obvious that she's been sobbing her eyes out. ]

One of the Gods said that we were supposed to be heroes, but how can

[For once, this guy doesn't want to be snide. It's tough to be rude when someone's crying for him to see.]

Leave it to the big, strong heroes. They'll figure a way out, kiddo.

How can you be so sure? None of us know what we're supposed to do.

That's the stupid thing about heroes. They never know what to do, but they do something--anything--until it finally pays off.

As I see it, you can only be brave if you're afraid, but anyone can be a hero if they're willing to take a beating fairly often. Someone's gotta be that stupid enough.

You... really think so? But I thought being brave meant not being afraid of anything!

[ she's trying to remember... she was brave once, right? before she died on Prospit... what did that feel like? ]

If you weren't afraid, then you wouldn't feel anything about a situation. You wouldn't care about the danger. It's pretty much a rule that you can only be brave if you're afraid.

It sounds like it's stupid, but--like I said, that's how heroes work.

I guess that makes sense... kind of. [ she's still a bit confused. bear with her! ]

I still don't think I could be brave... even though I have the scared part down. [ she looks a bit dejected at that. ]

You don't have to be. Like I said, there're plenty of morons who'll do all the theatrics for you.

[Himself, included, funny story.]
