"How could there ever be a war without casualties? It's always the civilians who suffer, while the politicians manipulate the game from behind!" Richard showed no semblance of the insight typical of influential political figures, and his words grew increasingly outrageous: "I'm just another pawn in the game, one of the manipulated! In a servant's eyes, there are no heroes; in a soldier's eyes, there's no good or evil. We don't have the luxury of choice—either we live or we die. Taking care of yourself is the only true path; stop daydreaming about being a savior!"
"Richard, I don't know about others, but I know you'll definitely come up with a solution." Avril giggled. She seemed to have developed an almost blind admiration for Richard's capability.
