Right. [ Can a person sound skeptical and grateful at the same time? If not, guess who just invented that fusion.
Finn kinda mulls his thoughts over. When you're bad at sorting through feelings and wording them, mulling things over takes up a little more time. So in a way it helps that it's Taako, who, as far as Finn's ever known, is also bad at sorting through feelings and wording them in his own unique way. ]
So we're fighting the First Order. Back home. I don't know if any of us have mentioned them. [ Or how much. It's one of those things that seems just about inevitable with people out of their corner of the universe. ] Big army. All the best tech and weapons. They don't-- recruit soldiers. Maybe they had to for a while to get started, maybe they still get volunteers. After a while, they figured out you don't need to recruit what you can raise. Galaxy's a big place. You can find kids anywhere.
[ Maybe part of him does care about what he can't remember, what he never got to have. Even if it only boils down to the fact that they took it from him. He doesn't know. Finn bites the inside of his cheek. Shakes his head. ]
You know, a stormtrooper goes down, they get left there? That's it. And it's... I really can't blame people for not thinking about it planetside. Any half-decent stormtrooper would shoot them if they got told to. It's what they're raised for. But the First Order doesn't do funerals. So I figured if the First Order won't do it and no one else should have to, I wanted to-- I don't know. Give them something.
[ People mourn Hosnian Prime, and they rightfully should. He's seen it even just in Poe's face. People in the Resistance mourn their own, mourn in some way for everyone the First Order's ever taken. He saw that, too.
Somewhere out there, maybe, thousands of families mourn the children they lost. The people that their children would have been, could have been. However many families were left alive. There's no way of knowing.
It's been part desire and part necessity to starkly split into me and them since he left. He never fit in the way he was supposed to. If Slip showed up right now, right here, with a second chance, if he trained a blaster on someone, Finn would put him down himself. He's killed a lot of stormtroopers himself. He doesn't know if this is coming from real compassion or something more selfish and complicated.
But it didn't seem right to do nothing. Even when he doesn't entirely know what he's doing or how to carry it. ]
