My brother,
Please. Stop struggling. Dont yell at me, I'm doing this for you, this is the only way I can do what I promised our mother.
"Watch over our younger one, dont let his light fade away", were her exact words. I intend to keep what I promised her.
Yes, I know. You are going to hate me for doing this but trust me... This is the way it was meant to happen. This is the only way I can get you out of here alive. What am I, a simple farmer who inherited our father's lands when he passed away. But you, dear brother, you are worth saving. You have the brains I lacked, you will achieve something. You've lost your other leg, you can never walk without a prostetic one. Dominion will send you home. Get a few medals. Educate yourself. Start a family. Perhaps even name your first born child after me. Die as an old man with no regrets.
"What are you doing, let go off me! I have to fight! Please, dont!"
I wish I could brother. I wish this was all just a dream. I wish I could wake up in my bed and tell you at the breakfast table that I had a weird dream. In said dream I was carrying you to a dropship, while men around us shoot at something that's chasing us, a sturdy marine waving at us next to the ramp. We were hurrying. I almost trip on a body of a deceased comrade. You are resisting, punching me. You realize that only one of us is leaving this cursed sector. Your eyes tear up. Your heart fights valiantly against your logic.
"Dont do this, come with me! there's plenty of time, put me down! I will cover us, let me help you! Brother! SPEAK TO ME!"
No, there is not. They're not far behind, there are no human hearts beating behind us. If I were to attempt to get on that dropship with you, there's no way we'll be able to get airborne. It pains me to do this but I must. There will be a day when you'll look back and appreciate what I did back here. I know you will make the most out of yourself, little brother. You will do just fine.
"Please come! Think of our mother, think of our baby sister! YOU PROMISED ME BROTHER, YOU VOWED SO MUCH TO ME!"
I know, brother. I can not bare the thought of our mother and our sister back on earth receiving two folded flags. I promised her, please understand. Someone has to continue our bloodline, this cursed planet will not be the grave for both of us. I, I, I cant think straight anymore. I promised her. You be good now, little brother. Please forgive me.
"NO! Let him in! Dont close the ramp! I LOVE YOU, YOU CANT DIE HERE! DONT LEAVE ME! DONT LEA..."
Oh existence, let him be known. Dont let this be in vain.
