❛ I am not sure they could forget ❜ The apocalypse , the eternally fabled end of the world ; it was upon them & it was far more frightening than anyone had dreamed ( or feared ) . From afar it was enough to send the world into a panic but up close ? The false sense of hope , of power was enough to tear you apart from the inside . You’re told you can fight , that you can win , you get comfortable & then the people closest to you are ripped away painfully , quickly , never to be seen again . Then ------- you forget what that comfort is . At the very least , the world was saved , the panic can pass & the world can look back at the end as a fading memory . They can hail the pilots as heroes , both fallen & left behind . ❛ They will remember what we have done , what we have all done . ❜
