    Summary

    “I think,” Welt says out loud, “it’s okay to be a little selfish sometimes.”

    “Really?”

    Dan Heng sounds like he doesn’t believe him. Welt can’t blame him.

    Nonetheless, he continues. “I’ve mentored a group of kids much like you all. Young, energetic, and hearts too big for their own good.” Welt sighs. “They didn’t have the time to be selfish, too busy being heroes. So if there is room for you to be selfish, then at least the burdens of the world are not placed on your shoulders.”

    “Someone has to be a hero eventually.”

    “‘The tragedy does not lie in the sacrifices we’ve made for our victory - it is that we’ve accustomed ourselves to the fact that we must sacrifice someone for our victory,’” Welt recites, an age-old lesson that took him far too long to understand. “If you have something to call your own, that you can be selfish for, then the world has not failed you yet, Dan Heng.”

    Dan Heng has nothing to say to that, but Welt thinks that he might get it.

    Or, not yet. Just like how Welt didn’t get it, once.

    But he will, with time.

     

    OR: Welt, The Astral Express, Anti-Entropy, and then some - on the topics of moving on from the past, healing, and a long journey home.

    Summary

    Bee is very good at being a civilian.
    He's very, very good at it until he's not.
    And everyone kind of sort of notices.

     

    (Some of you didn't grow up in the middle of a war and then on Earth and it shows)
