Um, I like to think I'm not a total bastard. Though maybe I have my moments? I can sure royally piss people off at times.
"Purpose in life isn't dying", huh? Hmm. We all died together last time. The same day. In the same battle. And it's a battle we seem to be fighting all over again. Maybe we're doomed to die all over again? The thought has certainly occurred to me. The others have protested it, because this time our political activism involves a lot more paperwork and a lot less gunfights. But still, protests can still turn violent. People can kill over their ideals just as easily now as back then. Will we be failed revolutionaries a second time?
Sorry to hear about your death. That sounds awful. I got let off the hook as far as deaths go. I... he.... he got really drunk and slept through everyone else dying. He didn't have to watch his friends die. And when he finally woke, only our leader was left. So he got to die at his side. So, I got lucky, because I was a total bastard and slept through the bad parts. They forgive me for it, somehow. I'm not sure I ever will. Can't say the rules of the universe were much prettier on our end, all told.
