This just punched me in the gut, because Charlie’s learned to think of killing as the most important thing about him. But in what world should being unable to kill be a bad thing?
Diana would never argue that being able to kill well is the big important character-defining skill somebody brings to the table. How wrong and twisted would that be?
And with killing out of the equation, Charlie suddenly isn’t a soldier. He’s a human being who is warm and silly and kind and who does something beautiful that makes the people around him smile. (Look at the old man laughing in the background. It’s not even just Diana.)
And where do you need the ability to create beauty and joy more than the middle of a horror like war?
And how fucked up is it that we have all this entertainment media where the big important character-defining skill the main character brings to the table is that they’re able to kill better than anybody else?
No, Diana says. That’s never the most important thing about you.
