ousin, what has happend to you?
Before this war, before this endless hell, you were so kind and loving.
You were beautiful and friendly.
Now you are ruthless. The war has aged you greatly.
You love this war, Cousin. It scares me sometimes.
Because, what if it all ends?
*************
I am still Rachel, Jake. I am still me.
I have just matured. I am now a warrior, a better version of my older self.
Yes, I am reckless. Yes, I crave danger. And I love the killing, the victory!
Jake, you don't understand. You never will.
*************
No, Cousin. I shake my head sadly and pity you. You are not a warrior, but a teenager in a hopeless situation.
This war has you taken you, and made you insane, Cousin. You are now unstoppable. The death of innocent people, thrills you.
Cousin, I can give orders and advice to the others. But not you. You are now so twisted, I'm not sure if the Rachel I grew up with is alive anymore.
