[ man that's crazy ]

You mean what Aerith said about saving the world? But she made it sound like there weren't that many of you.

No, that's... more of a recent thing. SOLDIERs were the big names in the war, so...

[ how do you explain you fell into war propaganda at 13 ]

[ ? ]

Then what was heroic about it?

What, never heard that shit about protecting your people by joining the military?

[ lol ]

... Not really. Protecting them from what, anyway?

By the time I joined up? Nothing much, really.

[ it's not like he cares about defending his military life choices he is. ex. for a reason ]

[ he was only thirteen he doesn't have to justify anything... ]

Ah. Well, it must've been hard, leaving home?

Not really. Back then, I couldn't wait to get out.

You weren't close with your family...?

It'd always been just me and my mom. It's not like we weren't close, but all guys left town around that age.

I guess it can be like that when you're from a small town.

Getting out feels more exciting than staying.

People get sick of being stuck in one place, I guess.

[ like now. here. smh. ]
