Stratt is dedicated to one thing: saving humanity. She thinks what action will bring me closest to my goal? and whatever the answer is to that question, she takes that action. Whether it's kind or cruel... if it brings her closer to her goal, she will do it. Harmful to one or helpful to another--there is no morality in it, not in the compassion and not in the harshness. She simply does what is necessary, void of any intent to help or harm any individual. Eva Stratt sacrifices her humanity for the sake of humanity and becomes, if you will, a force of nature. Nature has no morality, it only exists; a storm cannot be cruel, a soft breeze cannot be kind, it only exists until completion, until the circumstances formulating its existence disappear. And so shall Eva Stratt exist as long as astrophage does, warm when warmth is needed, steely when steel is needed, a friend when a companionship is needed, a traitor when a betrayal is needed. And perhaps that's why it's so impossible to hold it against her, it's not out of a desire to cause harm, it's not personal... It is only a desire to do what's necessary to give humanity its best shot at survival. How can you hate her for loving humanity enough to change her nature? How can you know her and not understand why you're no exception? How can you truly be her friend and not understand that Eva Stratt is fueled by two mugs of coffee and more love than most people will know in their lifetime? How can you feel bitter? How could you possibly resent her for doing the right thing, even if it hurt you
