He hesitated.
Right before plunging his fist into the heart of his foe, with the purpose of annihilating him forever, he hesitated.
Why, Mr. Anderson, why?
Do you know?
Ah, but you do know. You know why you're fighting, you know why you keep fighting, you know why you're here. You've stopped doubting. You're not Thomas anymore. He doesn't call you "Mr. Anderson" anymore, after you answer his question, because at last, you're not Thomas A. Anderson, the Doubting Son of Man anymore. Up to that point, you still doubted, you know. Still refused to see. There are none so blind, Neo....
At any rate, the real question is, does he know why?
If he looked deep within himself, would he know why he went ahead and and "did what he was there to do"? Why he accepted Neo's sacrifice?
He didn't have to, you know. He could have snapped the little virus' neck. "Woah".
He knew better. He knew why the cookies were there.
In the end (and everything that has a beginning has an end, Neo), he leaned forward and completed what had been started. Neo was overwritten and copied, just like he had been.
Action, reaction; Cause, effect. Purpose was fulfilled. An equation was balanced.
But was a choice made?
Yes.
He knew why, Neo told him. He knew before Neo told him, of course.
He was right. It was inevitable.
Because he chose to.
Because he'd already made the choice. He was just there to understand it.
Everything that has a beginning has an end, Smith.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting.
Well, I thought I'd gotten all that sort of stuff out of my system, but apparently not.
*sighs* What really bugs me about this is that it really isn't anything that hasn't been done better by someone else. (Specifically, The Chosen Shadow, "someone else" half my age. GAH.)
Oh well. I will bask in my mediocrity.
