[Whisper to Lup:] Nice. [About her very hilarious save. He seems amused, though, not mean.
Cloud is going to want to sink into the bed and disappear.]
Plenty of people where I'm from do military stuff when they're eighteen. Some of them don't have a lot of choice. Some of them want to try making a difference, want to have value. Sometimes it's both.
I think once they get in, they appreciate the discipline, but... come to resent the bigger values maybe. After they've done things not in a bootcamp.
[ her hilarious save makes him hide a smirk too, honestly. no, she's right, mako is bad. do not bathe in it.
he's looking curious when jason speaks though. it's not a track that's totally unusual, but it's not as common as plenty of people joining at eighteen. also, the idea of having a joining age! haha. ha. shinra is hell. ]
It was kind of like that for me. [ he squeezes lup's hand just because he can? and as a belated response to her. sure. ] I could've picked something else. There's a lot of jobs in the city. But I joined up to... make a difference. Be a big hero like we saw on the news during the war. [ he shrugs a shoulder ] By the time I joined up, they didn't need heroes.
[ and also the news was war propaganda, but that feels like he doesn't need to explain ]
