Hahaha. It's been rather interesting. When it was announced we were leaving, there was a very noticeable shift in the personalities and mannerisms of several of the other soldiers. Some became very excited, others began to panic or complain. Some who had never talked found their voices, where others fell silent. Is it because they realize they are leaving safety? That if they don't say it now, they won't be able to later?
Hm.
I myself do not feel much different, perhaps because I was not drafted against my wishes. I'm here of my own choosing. This is my duty. Still, I do not understand it entirely. Mankind has made these weapons, capable of and intended for destruction, but we are given the task of using them to protect..? Can one not protect without destroying?
It is very strange, indeed.
[ ooc: Even at war, Kaworu waxes philosophical. He's fighting with the good guys and he met Shinji when they got put in the same troop :D I'm sure he won't turn out to be a traitor or something crazy like that! This doesn't feel familiar at all!]
