[After The Endless Night]

[Back in the hangar, Quattro barely makes it out of Hyakku Shiki before he finally has to punch something. Fortunately for everyone but his own knuckles, he chooses the Hyakku Shiki's foot, causing a muffled steely gong.]

Dammit. How can this have happened again! History doesn't have to repeat itself this way, does it

[Looks up from Gespenst cleaning with a confused face.]

...?

[whats_a_char]

What. Heh. You've never seen a man try to break his own hand before?

[pilotofsilence]

...I presume it has something to do with what happened in Europe?

[whats_a_char]

You presume right.

Quattro... I... don't know what to say.

*Quattro is easy, Quattro might be helpful. Most importantly, Quattro isn't Luna, Shinn or Athrun.*

All I know is that what happened shouldn't have happened. People shouldn't have to continue suffering like this.

[Is he blaming you? It's hard to tell when he doesn't know himself.]

[seedwlives2spar]

I know. I have had a hand is so much suffering. Heliopolis... Jachin Due... Nocis... The Apsalus III... That town in the Desert...

I can't say who exactly is at fault, but I know that I am not blameless.

They say that those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.

[whats_a_char]

And who learns from history? People still continue to die needlessly in the same ways they have since war was invented.

[trombe_override]

The world really is full of fools, isn't it? Makes you wonder how our species continues to survive.

Seriously, though, this is perhaps the fourth or fifth time this has happened in a few months? What are the odds of that?

[whats_a_char]

Far higher than they ought to be.

[i_choose_me]

Off to kill someone? You've got that look in your eye.

[whats_a_char]

Tempting, but that would be a little hypocritical of me today.

[i_choose_me]

I don't think the universe really keeps score for that kind of thing.

[whats_a_char]

You'd be surprised what karma returns to you sometimes. But more seriously, killing someone won't help the situation any more than punching my mecha just did.
