some ppl don’t seem to understand that the appeal of strattland is that it wouldn’t change anything
We could think of a thousand ways to change the world so she never has to ask, trade
Or a thousand reasons to change him early, so he would volunteer.
But there is no world were she has to ask, he says no, and Eva Stratt accepts it of her own free will. If she accepts it, something, someone outside her power as World Dictator made her, and love him she might still, but she'd resent him saying no, because he still should have volunteered, in her eyes, because she's making so many sacrifices, and so why can't he? Why can he give up everything for the same goals as hers, why can they see eye to eye on everything from numerous kidnappings to ecoterrorism to days-long coffee fueled runs of administratively red tape cutting, but this one fine things she needa from him, he won't.
It wouldn't be any happier a world if they were together on Earth because he said no, at least not for a long, long while.
