Song: Hero, Superchick
Focal Character(s): Lloyd
He never asked to be a hero.
All he did was what he believed was right. How could he have done anything else? He'd just chosen to do what was right, that was it. And then one thing led to another, and when all was said and done, they called him a hero.
They built a statue of him. They called him "Lloyd the Great." "Hero of World Regeneration." Some of the crazier ones even bowed when he walked by. It all felt wrong.
He wasn't anyone special. He was just someone who did the right thing because he cared about his friends and he cared about the world. He wasn't in it to be a hero.
He hadn't even realized what he was saying was so radical when he'd first started. So what if they were half-elves? That didn't mean they couldn't be friends. Look at Genis. And yet... somehow his belief was different. And because he said something about it, because he did something about it, they called him a hero.
All he did was the right thing. He screwed up sometimes. He didn't always get it right. But they called him a hero anyway.
