“Not at all – you’re not a coward or a traitor. I’m almost certain that many of our peers had similar thoughts. Either that, or…,” Neya smiled and put her hand on her comrade’s shoulder, “...or we’re both cowards and traitors. Because I’ve had similar thoughts too. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to worry my family. I don’t want to take human lives in the name of someone else’s ambitions. Perhaps this will sound very naive and foolish coming from a student at a military academy, but that’s not why I came here. So, Ifeon, you’re not alone in your feelings. But I know for sure that my parents won’t leave the empire, so I only have one option left – to go all the way, to go through the inevitable war and return home, alive and well.”
