"Of course I don't. That's my whole point. Things won't change if I just leave now. A normal life isn't in the cards for someone like me. I'm a killer, through and through."

She looks to them, eyes going up and down. They did always strike her as someone who would strike a stern pose when trying to sway someone with words alone. She sighed, it wasnt like this sort of demeanor was something she wasn't used to being among many Zekes.

” Do you think you're the only one stuck in this cycle..? Don't be so selfish. ” Arms cross, gloved hands and crisp sleeves tucking tightly into the caves of their elbows.

” Stop thinking the weight is yours alone to carry, Mari. You don't have to live that way. ”

"Back in the colony, the old man always complained about the low supply of these."

She grinned, and took a drag.

"The only thing I remember about the man is that. And the smell of whatever bootleg he smoked.."

She thought back to the Axis drop. Two historical giants fighting in a battle of the ages, only witnessed by the likes of sinners like the so-called heroes of the past wars. Some even claimed these mortal enemies were friends for a moment in time.

And of course, the children at the labs-- Her thought was thankfully interrupted. She took the menthol offer silently. She reached into the inside pocket of the uniform jacket hanging over her shoulder.

Using a vintage lighter, she lit up the tip and took a drag.

And live my life running? Zeon was the cradle in which I was born and the guiding light to which I returned.

As long as people like me exist, the people of earth won't see spacenoids as humans.

Precisely. You can't. You're as deeply rooted into the canvas as I am ..! We both can't simply / leave / and walk away guilt free.

With all of the power hungry officers in the Federation, all the revenge — driven remnants... It would be foolish to standby and watch.

[ᅠᅠ│𝑺𝑎𝑑─𝑴𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑒〃₊ ⊹ ˑ @SIMPLESTSPUTNIK]

⠀⠀⠀
And let the Federation run free? Let the Titan Remants continue to feed on their own corpse?

If I don't fight, I die. The fight is all I have.

And Zeon gives me one.

... Then quit.

Leave your position and rank. Leave so that you'll never have to fit into this frame we've found ourselves in.

A faint smile feigning the absence of guilt.

"They stitched me to be the soldier they needed. I killed many that were much more than me. I am but the shell made up of a sum of parts they reshaped me with. The ones I killed were my enemy, it's that simple."

You are one beyond my understanding.. If I keep going, we will be forced in that dance once more..

And one of us shall meet their end.

You don't have any other choice but to keep going. I know how that is.

Even so, it is still a blade that can strike true. There's no room for pity in this world, so why would I even humour the thought?
