“When you get cut it hurts. Your skin splits apart and blood comes gushing out. You might die. You can’t wage a war if you forget that. No wait, maybe you can. Normally, you’d have to forget that to wage war. But it’s different for me since I’m a genius. I remember everything; there’s nothing that I’ve forgotten. I know what it is I’m doing, why I’m doing it, that many people have already died because of my rebellion, and that even more will die as it continues. By the time I complete my objective, Japan’s population will have more than halved. And then the survivors will shoulder serious mental wounds. They’ll have their lives, but their parents might die, or their siblings might die, or their friends might die, or their lovers might die. They’ll have to bear their scars for the rest of their lives, and some will never recover. There’ll be orphans too. This rebellion won’t make anyone happy.”
