"You're about duty, about sacrifice. It's what you grew up with, right?" Nida said. "That's what SeeDs do. Or what we're supposed to do. So we don't talk about it, what hurts and how it hurts. Because duty wins first. You don't tell others when you're wearing down, because you have to keep things going. Keep fighting."
Nida wraps his arms around himself, as if he's trying to comfort himself. Because really, he is.
"The way we think about other people, as SeeDs, is we assume that when people see us like that, they don't get it. They can't understand why we do this to ourselves. So we shut people out. It's a lot of how I act."
Hell, it's sort of how he acted with Yuki because the guy doesn't seem to get it. Didn't always understand nida. But Nida was more open with Mono, because the kid got it.
"I thought of you more as the latter, when you're the former. I think."
