    Summary

    There is no softness in war. Fragility and vulnerability were weaknesses. Not only for you but your teammates. Being friendly and outgoing with the enemy would only result in a knife in your back. Those who looked up to you and respected you, would not hesitate to doubt your command if they saw even a hint of mercy in your eyes. Bloodshed was the only display of love Fit knew. Having someone at your side, slashing at enemies was equivalent to friendly banter. There was no time for sincerities or pats on the back. The apocalyptic world they lived in was unforgiving and so they had to be too.

    Summary

    Martin had never been the type of person to listen to popular music. It made him feel ridiculously pretentious to say it, but it all felt so superficial. All those songs about love and sex and breakups felt so… detached. Emotionless even as the singer was supposedly pouring their heart out.

    He supposed this was part of the reason he liked poetry. Good poetry, where the feelings are so strong you can almost taste them, where you can hear the sounds pinned down by ink on the paper. Martin had been trying his hand at writing his own stuff recently, but it was never much good. It always felt so cliche.

    This is probably just a long way of saying that he liked a good story, and definitely a roundabout way of explaining why he enjoyed listening to the Mechanisms so much.

    (or to put it another way, Jarchivist Sims is Jonny D'Ville and Martin doesn't realise. Gay shenanigans occur. Now with Angst™)
