Saya suka baca comment section dari artikel atau berita, sebagian karena saya tertarik memahami apa yang dipikirkan orang lain, sebagian lagi karena saya sebenarnya(?) masochist.

Goodnight and Go

One of these days,
you’ll miss your train
and come stay with me

We’ll have drinks
and talk about things,
any excuse to stay awake with you

You’ll sleep here, i’ll sleep there,
but then the heating may be down again
at my convenience

we’d be good, we’d be great together.

Henry (Fire Emblem Awakening)

Yep! I love fighting! Pshew Pshew!

Henry adalah salah satu karakter dari game 3ds Fire Emblem Awakening. Awalnya dia adalah anggota pasukan Plegia (negara musuh) sebelum akhirnya bergabung dengan pasukan kita. Default class Henry adalah Dark Mage, dengan status utama Skill dan Speed; artinya dia bisa menggunakan dark magic, jarang miss dan hampir selalu dapat 2x attack.

But who cares about those, yang paling keren dari Henry adalah support conversation-nya. Check these out~
(Note: semua kalimat ini diutarakan sambil tersenyum seperti gambar di atas)

• Cordelia: Well, now that I think about it, the gift probably isn’t such a good idea.
• Henry: Aw, but it’s so beautifully made! I’m sure he’d love it.
• Cordelia: Yes, but I doubt his wife would.
• Henry: Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh. Say, what if the wife was dead? Could you give it to him then?

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

• Henry: Oh yeah. I guess so, huh? Although you didn’t need to put a truth curse on me, you know? I don’t have anything to hide, and I’ve never told a lie in my life.
• Tharja: Aha! At last you reveal the source of your power. You disarm your foes with terrifying honesty and sincerity!
• Henry: Well, usually I disarm foes by removing their arms. But your way sounds impressive, too!

• Henry: Well, when I was young, my best friend in the entire world was a giant wolf. My parents ignored me most of the time, so that wolf became my whole family. Then one day she came to visit me, and some hunters in the village… They shot her full of arrows. Killed her on the spot.
• Cherche: …Th-that’s terrible!
• Henry: But they paid… Oh, how they paid… They paid in BLOOD.

• Henry: But I’ll tell you one thing—there’s no reason to be sad about death. Everyone in this army is going to croak sooner or later—it’s a matter of when. And at the end of it all, we’ll be reunited again on the other side.
• Maribelle: You think so?
• Henry: …Oh, wait! Holy crows! I just had a really weird thought. That means all the foes we kill are gonna be over there, too. Aw, rats, I’m gonna have to kill them all over again!

and my favorite

• Ricken: Hey, Henry?
• Henry: What?
• Ricken: Remember a while ago, when you told me that you served under Gangrel? It made me wonder… Have you fought against anyone you knew?
• Henry: Yeah, sure! You’ve cut down a few of my former comrades. You interested in who they were? Lemme see if I can recall… Well, there’s Vasto. I liked him! Always ready with a joke or quip.
• Ricken: That guy?! He tried to stop us when we headed east that one time.
• Henry: He was really excited about that posting—it was his first major command. Ha! He used to talk about his mother all the time. “Best knitter in Plegia,” he’d say!
• Ricken: Oh. That’s…nice.
• Henry: Then there was Mustafa. He always gave me a bag of peaches whenever I visited. He said I reminded him of his son and that I should consider myself part of his family.
• Ricken: ……
• Henry: Oh! And Campari used to make little birdhouses for homeless—
• Ricken: Actually, Henry? I don’t think I want to know about your comrades after all.
• Henry: Aw! I thought you were interested.
• Ricken: I was, but now everyone seems more…normal than I expected. They’re not maniacs or monsters. They’re just like us, except they’re dead.
• Henry: Yep. Dead as driftwood, they are. And it was you Shepherds who killed ’em! Their friends and families are probably still crying their eyes out.
• Ricken: …….
• Henry: What’s wrong?
• Ricken: Henry, it’s my job to kill Plegian soldiers… So I have to believe they deserve to die. But now you’ve reminded me that they aren’t faceless blobs with axes. They have friends, and families, and… H-how am I going to fight them if I know that? What if I hesitate?
• Henry: You’re weird. I don’t see the problem here at all.
• Ricken: Now, it’s all right, Henry. It was my fault for asking.
