Raven scowled to herself. Wasn't there any way out of killing a G.F.?
"What's wrong?" Yuri asked quietly. He may've been a bit indifferent and
detached, but he cared a little about everyone. He noted Raven's
crestfallen face. He was soft spoken, and Raven barely heard him.
"G.F.'s aren't evil! Why should they be slain? They haven't done anything to us! I know life isn't fair, but there's supposed to be an equal balance between justice and mercy! This is neither just nor merciful! I look down on, detest, and loathe this!" Raven said fiercely. Raven had never had any real friends, until Xeno of course; but Yuri was a good-acquaintance, as close as she'd gotten to a friend. They were a lot alike. This SeeD assignment was beginning to make them friends. Both of them were cold, lone- wolves on the outside, but decent and even a little warm on the inside. A spark of decency that hardly ever shown. That was their most common aspect.
"Life isn't fair at all; everyone has had an acidic, harsh reality like this. It's like a double-edged sword, cutting its way through you, inside out. It's twisting is unfathomable; deeper than ever... it's swallowing you right now, isn't it? There is no such thing as justice and mercy in the real world; only in peaceable places. Balamb have faith in peace; so does Trabia. But that's about it. I know how it feels, going through this emotion. It's tearing you apart. I can read it in your eyes. You try to shroud your emotions, veil them from view. Don't do that, Raven. It tears you up even worse. If you feel like crying, cry; if you feel like laughing, laugh. I only learned this lesson a very short time ago. When Heather died. I was scared stiff if I cried, it would make things not only worse, but more real. And when I cried, it didn't hurt, to a certain extent, so bad." "Y'Know, you should be a poet." Sniffed Raven, smiling gently at him. Yuri smiled. That smile showed a lot; compassion, humor, amusement, and how much he really shared her pain. "Thanks, Yuri." And if it's the last thing I'll do, I'll do all I can to save this G.F.! "Let it go, all right?" Yuri patted her on the back, then added, "You have to much heart for this job." He walked swiftly away. Yuri was not a man of many words, and didn't have many friends. But, he thought to himself, that girl had a way of getting to you.
Raven closed his eyes. If she was gonna face this without falling apart, she was gonna have to be strong. And Raven had a growing suspicion and a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. That this G.F. She knew it. And it was going to receive neither justice, nor mercy. This felt like the beginning of the end of her undisturbed life at Balamb as a Garden SeeD.
