i was recently thinking about Reno’s refusal for time off even though he’s probably hurting a LOT. I kinda got the impression he felt he didn’t deserve a rest after dropping the plate. ‘Patch up and suck it up, you know what you did.’ kinda deal. In Before Crisis, the Turks were fighting off terrorists trying to blow reactors that would have killed up to 50,000 people.
In Crisis Core, they tried to Rescue Zack Fair. They failed, but they could still say they at least TRIED to do what was the right thing.
But come FF7, now Reno’s the one dropping the plate and killing thousands of people and i think that’s a rough take to come full circle like that and suddenly find yourself committing to actions you’d previously been fighting against years prior.
