What is the point
@Griff_Navus On a personal level, he feels like he doesn't have a choice but to do his duty as an Awakener and, on a utilitarian level, fighting in Crossbell to minimise the loss of life is also the best.
If he denies the orders based on that logic, he is a hypocrite.
@Griff_Navus Rean himself is most concerned about his purpose--his place in the world. He was directionless before Thors, but being chosen as an Awakener gave him a purpose to his life, even if he doesn't like it.
