wtf shiro? seriously go back to whatever shounen anime you came from these are some pretty deep words youre saying rn
i won't rest until i'm satisfied with myself i'll keep working hard to do good for everyone here, and for myself
thanks shiro :) i lost sight of what was important but you managed to bring it back. you must be the leader of something back at home?? that lion thing maybe??
[he's glad to hear that his words have helped, even if on the short-term. bringing things back to his would-be accomplishments back where he is from, leaves him at a sort of a loss on how he should be feeling.]
[but it's 2AM and he's going to chalk it up to that.]
I'm glad, and you're welcome. As for being a leader... It's more of what I do for a living. I went to a military academy, so I suppose in the end we end up talking like we're amping ourselves up for a last stand. The lion thing though, that's new. I do what needs doing.
[including becoming the leader of a ragtag team of teens and misfits]
Over a year ago, I was chosen to be the pilot on a mission to take two of Earth's most qualified space researchers to Kerberos, one of Pluto's moon. It was the farthest humanity has ever traveled in space, and it was an honour for me to be chosen as one of the people involved. Not soon after we got there, we got captured by an alien ship.
Needless to say, my time in captivity was not--good. To put it lightly. My friends, the researchers, they're still there. I managed to escape, after a year of being captured, and I managed to get back to Earth.
The Galra were looking for something, and I knew they were headed to Earth. They would enslave humanity and destroy anything to get their hands on it. The strongest weapon that could give Galra, and Zarkon, their leader, the power he needed to be unbeatable.
[he refuses to utter/spell out the name, just in case 'voltron' somehow registers and the galra find out where he is. alien technology is scary.]
When I arrived back on Earth, a friend of mine from before and three others and myself managed to find one of the components of this weapon. We boarded it, and it took us several light years away into a different galaxy, where we would consequently find the other components, and with that, in time, be able to defeat Zarkon and stop him from dominating the universe for his own desires and wants.
The lion robot I've been looking for? There's five others. That's what it's for.
But she doesn't mind? She actually really appreciates that he's telling her this. It kind of explains a lot about him, but that arm part--she can only guess about what happened there. Damn. ]
....i should've guessed you've been through a lot of crap tbh ok that sounds mean....... but that's quite a backstory. i'm sorry you had to go through all that, like when you were captured by the galra
i guess you really are a shounen protagonist
but seriously, dang that's a lotta responsibility on your shoulders, protecting the planet and humanity and whatnot
D.Va, your problems are important to me. You were brave enough to admit them to me, with the details that make them a nightmare for you. I can't even bring myself to really open up on the details of my situation because I don't want to remember it.
It's not a competition. And right now, your problems take precedence over mine, no matter what.
Thank you. I do have to admit, that being here has been like having a break from everything that I returned home to, even with what's been happening. Being here is a lot refreshing, and I'm glad I've met you and Rin and others as well.
[he's kinda worried she'll be in danger because of it, or whatever. zarkon and his goons... shiro's living a paranoid life. welcome to his nightmare, soon you'll understand him.]
If there's anyone capable of understanding where I'm coming from, it's you.
