Tragedy

Jun 16, 2009 00:41

Shiro...Kira...they both...why? How could we lose two people on one mission? It's not fair! They were two of the kindest people in the whole EDF! And not only that, but this mission was so...so STUPID! First the Apsalus firing on us during a truce, then Major Ingram ordering them to shoot down the medical shuttle. Why? Why that? And why did ( Read more... )

Kira and Shiro... and then all of that!? I- Damn it... what can I even say...

soylent_genki June 16 2009, 19:18:28 UTC

Lieutenant...ma'am, how do you deal with it when something like this happens? What does a soldier do when her friends die?

grandtheftmecha June 16 2009, 19:46:16 UTC

Kusuha... when a soldiers friend-when my friends died... I buried my sadness. I try not to think about it or feel about it right then and there, cuz otherwise I'd never be able to keep fighting.

Honestly, there's... still a lot I'm holding in from the fighting I saw before coming here...

soylent_genki June 17 2009, 05:35:51 UTC

I'm just not strong enough to hold sadness in. Here I am crying like a little girl like I did...like I did to Shiro after the Aidoneus mission. If I'd been stronger, maybe I could have saved them. Or maybe at least this wouldn't be affecting me so much.

Be strong, Kusuha. I'm sad, too. But that doesn't change the fact... we have to keep fighting anyway, so tragedies like this don't happen again.

soylent_genki June 16 2009, 19:11:25 UTC

But fighting more is just going to...

Wait, Shinji, did you just give me a pep talk?

a_young_legend June 16 2009, 19:35:09 UTC

I'm not going to cry... anymore. It won't bring the people I love back.

But it does seem like a vicious cycle... fighting to end the fighting. But really, I see it as... protecting the people who aren't strong enough to fight for themselves. I learned that from Kira and Shiro.

soylent_genki June 17 2009, 05:32:02 UTC

But...even now, I couldn't even protect them, two people who had already saved my life repeatedly. I can't protect anyone; I'm still always the one who needs protecting.

... I actually didn't know Mr. Amada or Mr. Yamato, but I always heard nice things about them.

Th-thank you, Fate. You didn't hear wrong, they really were nice people.

You have no idea. is_this_fate June 17 2009, 05:49:51 UTC

I can't fully understand, but I have lost someone very important to me. So, if you want to talk about it, that's alright.

Wherein I guess at Kusuha's backstory soylent_genki June 17 2009, 06:03:46 UTC

W-well...

I don't bring this up a lot, but I'm originally from the colonies. My parents stayed in space while I came down to go to high school, and I've been living alone since. I haven't had a chance to talk to my mother or father since...oh, probably since the Aerogaters first attacked. It's not...that I'm worried about them. If they were hurt, word would have gotten to me somehow. It's just that I had no one to talk to when I got here. No one I could open up to the first time...I killed someone in battle. About how scared I was.

Then, I just sort of did when I was talking to Ensign Amada. He heard me out, dealt with my wimpiness, and never asked anything in return, even though he had his own troubles to worry about. He shouldn't have had to die. He was too good of a person.
