Re: End Reflections

Asuka is there. She feels she at least owes that much to B5. However, she's dry-eyed throughout the entire thing. She didn't know any of the five thousand who perished. She never will. And in the end she doesn't care about them - they're abstract, a number. Something she can't truly put a face on. Something she can't bring herself to feel sorrow for. She grew up in a world where half the human race was wiped out before she was born. Three billion dead. Five thousand is a drop in the bucket.

However, B5's coffin does get a tightening of her expression, a tensing of her body. It's too late for her to say or do anything and for some reason she feels guilty; she hates herself for feeling that guilt. So, she just stands and watches it all go by.
