In a world dominated by Mechas and long-range weaponry, it was a rarity among rarity to see anyone with blood dripping like on Earth.
Even during battles with Zergs, soldiers were packed in their Mechas. Their physical bodies remained untouched by the direct harm.
The real damage of the war was often psychological. Most of the time, the soldiers would lose their mental power and succumb to insanity. It was also named as Mental riots.
So, when Ren's video circulated on the Star Net which showed him lying in a pool of his own blood, it shocked the entire galaxy.
It wasn't just the image of bloodshed that startled people, but how raw and unfiltered it felt in a world so removed from physical injury.
The small video spread like wildfire, and he was pushed to the forefront of public recognition.
Even the nurses and doctors who came to check on him looked at him with such tender eyes that it made Ren's skin crawl.
