[Zidane opens his eyes and glances at Keith. Is the guy okay? Maybe it’s the stress of all that’s going on. And there is no way Zidane can blame him.
Hopefully it won’t get to him so much that he’ll collapse. The same with others. Zidane feels he really has to check up on a lot of people once this nightmare ends. But for now, he’ll answer Keith’s question.]
I’m not from Gaia. You know I talked about having been to another world before? Well, I didn’t tell you the whole story. Didn’t wanna kill the mood when we were trying to have fun.
Anyway, when we went to Terra, we found a bunch of guys who looked like me. But……..they behaved like zombies. Just walking around, working, doing nothing else. [And Zidane’s calm when he says this but a hint of anger can be heard on his voice.] It wasn’t that they couldn’t do anything else or show emotion. They just…….thought their only reason to exist was to be the bodies of some dead civilization! Just because that was the reason they were made in the first place.
[And they are learning differently, thank god. But well if he dwells on that he won’t get to the point he wanted to tell Keith.] I was a little different though. I was born for another reason. My purpose was……to help restore Terra. By helping kill everyone on Gaia.
[It’s strange. He wouldn’t have been this personal a couple of months ago. Sure, Keith isn’t the first one on the island who was told this info. However, Legion didn’t know about the sense of not belonging part.
However, he’s not there to make Keith feel sorry for him. What happened happened and it’s not as if his life’s that bad now. Well, not back home anyway.]……Like I said, I’m okay now. I mean, I guess I’d be lying if I didn’t say it wasn’t still crap but nobody tells me what to do. I have my own reasons to live. I had……..Dagger, Vivi and the others to help me realise that. [And he hesitates. This part is harder to talk about….] They came for me and…..even though I pushed them away……..didn’t think they would get it……that I couldn’t fight alongside them anymore because of what I was…..they didn’t budge. And….well….uh…[He turns a shade of pink. What they said….what Dagger said…..made him so happy. It’s still embarrassing.] ..I’m kind of glad…..they didn’t. Heh…….Really glad…..
Ugh, enough of all that. The point I’m trying to make is…………..well, not everyone belongs with others of their race. And that’s fine too. But either way, wherever you belong, no Galra or human’s gonna tell you. Doesn’t matter if you happen to be the same race. Only you get to decide that.
Cw: blood, body horror, near suicide mention, ptsd descriptions
