... I mean. It had to. I'm not all that brave, or smart. We were all just kind of desperately running around, trying to come up with plans.
If that didn't mean anything, then what was the point? Why did we get thrown into that stuff? I know there's things... not gods, but just really powerful things, and we were just kind of... the pieces that got moved into play. If they had to play us, then I'd like to think that we had a reason to be played. That whatever we gave up... I don't know.
I just don't want other people to have to be scared anymore. I don't want them to have to be in danger. So that even if their life sucks, at least they're not being forced at the point of a laser gun to give up their own ability to do things.
... Okay I'm going to totally show how much of a loser nerd I am, but the quote's appropriate. 'You may be sure that it was not for any merit that others do not possess: not for power or wisdom, at any rate. But you have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.'
I mean... we had to do what we had to do. Even if other people think of us as heroes, we didn't. We were just... there. Fighting. No time to stop and think, not much time for morals, just... fighting. It's hard to explain unless you were fighting, too. We kept thinking 'well, either we'll die or we won't, and if we don't we can think about what this means later'. Usually we were just trying not to get shot.

... This place gives me too much time to think.
