Chapitre 610: What is your life worth? [1/2]

It was something nobody expected. The whole time we didn't ask questions. We were told to blast the undead as they sought to kill us. Monsters and demonkin fell into the same category. It was natural to fear something you did not understand. 

And with fear came anger and hatred. Over the centuries, how many reapers died at the hands of these monsters? How many monsters were butchered by reapers? Just today, haven't the Sirens and I massacred over ten thousand of them?

Even in war, the quickest way to get over killing people was to see them as monsters. Anime and manga never failed to drive this point home. Those who could kill monsters with ease might suddenly find themselves getting slaughtered when fighting humans.

Because once you recognize something as human, you start to see things you didn't see before. What motivated them. What they believed. What they valued. And most of all, what they would be willing to die for.
