[His thoughts on battle. Let him tell you them.]

Conflict is my life's work. I've been a soldier; I suppose in some ways I never stopped being one. The will to survive is a beautiful thing, especially when challenged, and even in failure; the world, as I understand it, adheres to the principle of Equivalent Exchange - and so with each new death comes change in the world, for better or worse. Whether you believe life itself has any value is irrelevant; those who exist in the world stand a chance to change the world. The battlefield is the ultimate example; it's where this clash - strength against strength, will against will, life against life - reveals its purest, rawest potential. I've simply made the world my battlefield.

I couldn't evade death forever; in the end, I was defeated. But then, that was to be expected, and there was no point in fearing the inevitable - as I've said, all that live are pursued by death; what else can one do when pursued, except move forward?
