❝ 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙞𝙙𝙤𝙡 𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙠𝙖. 𝙄 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙪𝙥! ❞ The innocence of children, in Asuka's eyes, remains unmatched. Living unknown to sorrow and hardship, innocence gleamed in the child's eyes as they looked at her.

"I... You..." Was she worth being idolised? While she was, mostly, a law-abiding citizen, what about her made children look at her in awe?

Was it her strength? Earned through hard-work and dedication to her family's legacy. Strict, yet lenient in how she applied the Kazama clan's values. Protect, be a river, powerful, tearing through barriers and gently guiding life onto it's 'correct' course. Yet here she was, using the Kazama style to protect others, correcting through violence was still violence.

Was she really worthy of something like that?

Slowly, Asuka sank down to crouch beside the child, hands atop of her bruised knees [ despite training her body for over a decade, she was only human; flesh and bone ]. "You sure?" she began, her tone gentle.

I wanna be like daddy when I grow up!

"... You gotta use your strength t' protect people. Don't go usin' your fists when you see somebody gettin' bullied at school, tha' ain't protectin'... Sometimes, fightin' ain't the only way an' others... people need a good wack!" She is an awful role model.

After the fight with Rey, Kylo is weak, and Hux ends up taking care of him.  As soon as he’s able, Kylo is up and about; he’s still weakened, but he stubbornly refuses proper rest and keeps overestimating his strength.  Hux finds him one day, halfway down the hall, leaning against the wall because he can’t finish walking to the bathroom.  His legs are shaking not only from desperately trying not to pee, but trying to remain standing.  Kylo is angry and embarrassed by his weakness, and Hux is ticked off because he won’t listen and let himself recover like he should.
