thinking about how probably both ryland grace and eva stratt refuse to acknowledge that they are brave.
ryland grace, who had a life on earth just within his grasp and turned around, who knew he would die, but did it to save his friend all the same. but no, he won't call himself brave. anyone else would have done the same thing (they wouldn't).
eva stratt, who looked her own kind of death in the face and walked stoically, brutally efficiently toward it. who knew she was giving over her life and freedom to save 8 billion lives, who ended up sacrificing her best friend, who sat in prison for years on end for saving the world. but no, she wouldn't call herself brave. it was practical, logical, an easy decision. anyone else would have done the same thing (they wouldn't).
opposite kinds of sacrificial lamb, really
