Seems kinda like a stretch . They wouldn ' t be able to remotely reprogram the human mind . They mention how they wipe host and reuse them for different scenariosstories . Their brain would have to be like a hard drive that they can delete and rewrite code on to , not a human brain . <| sep |> As the woman tightened her grip on her weapon , Akihiko readied himself for the oncoming attack . Nothing he said seemed to make her change her mind , and in fact , she looked even more furious . As she sliced down at him brutally , he leaned out the way to dodge the rather obvious attack . Do I look ecstatic to you , you fucking dumbass ? !? Exceptions to every rule . He bluntly responded she sliced back up at him once more catching this dodge and cutting him somewhat shallowly up his torso as he leaned away again . Of course she wouldn ' t be happy when her side was losing . Why did she expect this to be surprising to him ? The fights had dragged on by now , and Akihiko was growing tired , his wounds starting to ache more and more . By now , he couldn ' t find it in him to counterattack just yet . To become something of worth to society ! All of my time goes into building myself up to be less of a failure . Do I deserve a promotion ? Can I live up to my new responsibilities ? . Tell me , do you know how much it takes to simply find the courage to go to a battlefield , where you know that good men and women on both sides will perish ? Better still , go there with the precise intention to avoid fighting . How brazen of her to speak of courage in the face of adversity . ' Woe is me for joining a military organization . They make me kill people ! Who could ' ve predicted this ? ' What the hell was up with this woman . Intention to avoid fighting ? How pretentious and naive . A life like this does not contain a shred of happiness in it . Don ' t you dare preach to me about happiness , human . . You went further though . You enjoyed killing him . I can ' t tolerate that . Whether you realize it or not , you ' ve come to embody everything that you hated about investigators . Akihiko ' s eyes widened and he stumbled as her very words seemed to strike him at his core . She was wrong . He was different . The investigators had made him this way . He wouldn ' t be like this if they hadn ' t taken from him . Doves were the fucking scum of this world , how dare she compare him to them . They ' re fucking murderers and psychopaths . I ' m just here to protect people . I ' m different , aren ' t I ? His mind had left the fight and his body lagged behind . The woman stood to end it right here , but there was an interruption . His ' partner ' s ' blade knocked the blade away from its course , sparing him the pain and blood . Snapping back into action he thrust kicked straight for her center of mass , aiming to knock her away from himself . At least we ghouls are willing to acknowledge our monstrosity , instead of pretending to be angels of hope . Wake up and look around you , he retorted . This death and despair that you loathe so much . you signed up for this in your job . We were born into it . If you want peace , quit the CCG . Don ' t preach to me about it from behind your sword . Entering a battlefield without the will to take a life isn ' t courage it ' s cowardice . If you gave a shit about your bloodthirsty comrades , you ' d be clawing and tearing away at each and every ghoul you could find because when you don ' t act , we do . We will be there to take them from you , as they would gleefully do to us . To hesitate is to betray .
