Perspective Arc An arc of 5 very short POVs, told each from various Gundam Pilots. Puts forth questions. Three are reloads, one is new.
01 (Heero): Begging
"If a lost dog followed you home, would you keep it? Likely, the dog will be killed. Taken to the pound and put down like its life is of no consequence. A dog is one of many of its species. Nobody will miss a single lonely one if it was destroyed. But what if it was a 'cute' one? A lovely, beautiful dog with warm liquid eyes that begged for its life? Begged to be loved? Maybe the lost dog then has a chance.
At least, a better one than the scarred dirty furred mongrel that followed you home with ears half torn from a history being forced to fight for its survival, its hard eyes wary and cold as it tracks you down with desperation for a bit of food as the rubbish cans are bare- its starved belly causing it to have the delusion it could perhaps beg cutely like the better ones for a morsel.
That unattractive type would be shooed away at best, perhaps kicked in its empty stomach, or at worst, killed by a panicked gunshot that takes away its life without even the benefit of humane veterinary euthanasia and leaves its carcass to be forgotten in the garbage.
Relena, with all your political knowledge and savvy, tell me this; in civilian life, to be allowed the privilege of begging, what sort of human do you have to be?"
