Leo's mood is heavy, and his reflection on war makes him feel a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration. These wars, in his view, seem to be senselessly consuming human lives and resources, without any meaning. He angrily says, "Xyphos's war hasn't even ended, and yet human wars are never-ending... what is it all for?"
This question is like a huge puzzle hanging over his head, unable to find an answer. He can't help but ponder whether all this sacrifice and loss is for the pursuit of power, or because of deep-seated fear and distrust, or perhaps the inevitable instinct for war in human nature. But regardless of the reason, the results of these wars seem to only bring more pain and division, rather than solving problems.
Leo felt heartbroken because even in the distant outer space, it seemed that humanity could not escape the shadow of war. He silently looked out the window at the boundless universe, imagining whether one day true peace could be achieved, or if it was just an unattainable dream. But even if it was just a small step, he hoped to make some contribution to ending the war.
Sarah's words were like a bucket of cold water, abruptly waking Leo up. She smiled helplessly, her tone carrying a hint of resignation: "Stop thinking about it, Leo. Have you ever thought that your current job is war? Without this job, what else can you do?" Although direct, her words made sense, leaving Leo speechless.
Later, Sarah gently changed the topic again. Her voice softened, but the content of the conversation still heavily struck Leo's heart: "Moreover... human wars have never been rational from beginning to end... Those in power use war to gain benefits, while the lower class can rise through war. Perhaps this is just a natural law, don't think too much about it."
Leo fell silent. Although Sarah's words were brief, they revealed the cruel reality behind war. In this world where strength is revered, war seems to have become an eternal and unchanging theme. Whether for individuals or entire societies, war exists in some form, constantly changing people's destinies.
The fire of war in Leo's heart was temporarily extinguished by Sarah's words, but he knew that the inner struggle was far from over. He began to ponder the role he played in this massive war machine and whether it was possible to find a path that would allow him to maintain his beliefs and survive in this world. Sarah's words, unintentionally, gave him an opportunity to reexamine himself and the world.
Just as both sides fell into silence, their thoughts revolving around the meaning of war and the direction of life, a sudden little incident broke the heaviness. Two chilled drinks suddenly seemed to come to life, slowly drifting towards them, and the last one directly hit Leo's face, causing him to involuntarily let out a surprised cry.
Leo turned around and saw Jim floating innocently in the air, holding a sandwich that he was taking big bites out of. With each bite, the crumbs from the sandwich floated around in the zero-gravity environment, almost like slow-motion dancing.
"Oops! Sorry about that, Leo!" Jim said with a playful expression on his face, seemingly unconcerned about how abrupt his actions had been. "Here, this is for you. Don't let it hit you again." With that, he deftly pushed another can of drink into Leo's hand.
This sudden little episode not only brought a bit of levity to the heavy conversation, but also made Leo and Sarah involuntarily laugh. Although the topic they had just discussed was heavy, Jim's behavior undoubtedly gave them a brief escape, reminding them that even in the shadow of war, there are still little moments of happiness and relaxation in their lives.
Jim floated effortlessly in the zero-gravity environment, his movements appearing both comical and casual. While rudely chewing on a sandwich, he complained about the taste of the space food, "This is really super disgusting, space canned pork with vegetable cubes, it's sickening." His tone was full of disdain for these space foods.
His fingers skillfully picked out a green, square vegetable piece from the sandwich. The thing shook in the air, like jelly in zero gravity, swaying with its unnatural shape. Then, Jim slid it aside without hesitation, and the vegetable piece floated gently in the cabin, finally settling quietly in an unnoticed corner.
This scene brought a smile to the onlookers. Jim's dissatisfaction with space food seemed to resonate with everyone, and his unintentionally funny behavior added a bit of relaxation and fun to this space journey. On the eve of this tense mission, this small moment of laughter is undoubtedly very precious.
Sarah looked disdainfully at Jim floating in the air, while pulling the tab of her orange soda. After taking a deep breath, she couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my... living with this idiot... I finally understand the real cause of Number Six's death, it was Jim's messiness." Her tone carried a hint of jest, but also some concern, as if Jim's sloppiness had become a joke between them.
Upon hearing this, Leo couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter echoing in the cabin of the ship. Then, he also raised the can of concentrated watermelon juice in his hand and took a big sip, the sweet taste of watermelon immediately dispelling the awkward atmosphere in the air. In this moment, despite facing a difficult mission, the small humor and camaraderie among teammates made the journey seem less heavy.
Jim heard these words and just laughed and retorted, "Oh, come on, spare me this time for bringing the drinks!" His carefree attitude seemed to be undisturbed by anything, bringing a hint of relaxation to the tense atmosphere. Sarah and Leo's laughter, along with Jim's nonchalance, created a unique moment for them, even as they headed towards an unknown mission.
