[Logic dictates that Ax is absolutely correct. There's nothing that can possibly be done from either of their standpoints, but Ryuji is anything but a beast of logic. He's emotion, raw, unparalleled by most people he knew; he's a chariot of determination, unable to accept the way the world is. It's a harsh reality to wake up to, one that won't sit well with Ryuji for years to come. He can't agree with Ax... if he gives up here, he might as well give up everywhere. Unacceptable.]
NO!
[In his futile effort, the cloth he's using to stop the soldier from bleeding becomes so saturated that it's impossible to well up the sopping sanguinary hole in him. Ryuji's face screws up, the world seems to be spinning under him and around him.]
Fuck, no!
[No matter how much he denies it, it doesn't make it any more real than the suffering the person below him is going through. Prolonging this is almost selfish in a way. And all through this, he's so angry- so angry that life is lost, even though in the grand scheme of things, so many people have died. This is weirdly personal in a way, and he can't stop the warmth of crying that starts to trickle down his face.]
He can't die. He can't fuckin' die! What are you--- what are you doing standing there!?
