Is it wrong to want to live a normal life here when you're a fighter back at home?

No. Sometimes I wish I could do the same but if do, I won't fit into society.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Why do you think that?

[greatergone]

Society is a large machine. Every member is just a small part of the machine; a gear. Their duty is to fulfill their role as that gear. If that person decides to stop doing their duty of being a gear, where else in the machine will they fit?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Wherever they want.

It's true we all have our own roles in society, but that doesn't mean that's all there is to us! If there were, none of us would have a heart or a soul. We wouldn't feel anything but the need to work.

[greatergone]

I'm jealous that you can live like that.

[And that's a first for him.]

But my people, the society I'm from doesn't work like that.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

But it's different here. You don't have to live like that anymore!

[greatergone]

I understand that. But when I return home, I'll be an outcast. I'll have let the skills I need atrophy and done things I wasn't supposed to do.

Even worse, I could be put into a reeducation camp.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Oh no! I hope they'll let you stay here. I wouldn't want to go back to a world like that.

[greatergone]

It's my home. I like it there.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Oh. I guess there must be more good than bad, then.
