[ Godzilla goes quiet for a few moments, directing his attention back to the hatchlings. Ratio could be forgiven for thinking the big guy is done with him, but he's speaking up again before long. ]
Since the day humanity appeared I have watched them, protected them. In return for what? My species eradicated due to human infighting, the planet wounded near irreversibly by their unchecked greed. Yet still I defend them, it is what I do.
[ A beat, an annoyed grumble. ]
LILITH calls, I answer the duty. I fight for this world too. Labeled traitor for the fall of Seoul, enemy for my rage. Rage born from the treatment of those closest to my heart by humans, humans others will still make argument that we should not have slain in revenge. Bah.
[ An annoyed snort, bellowing smoke, then once more silence. Before finally-- ]
Yet it is not Doctor Veritas Ratio that argued to me the ill-logic of my growing hatred, no, this shining paragon of humanity is content to label me enemy and rally the rest behind him... or in front as the case may be, lacking spine enough to stand before a threat himself.
No. It is Friend Ereshkigal, a divine being who's eternity is confined alone to a dark realm by humanity's belief. It is Kaede-hime, who's life and limb has been exploited and threatened by humans since she made daring to be born different. It is Friend Laios, disdained and ostracized by his people for that which interests him and brings him joy.
Those with every reason to dispise your hateful kind are the only willing to argue its defense, to champion the rare moments of "humanity" found within humans. They make a far better case than you ever shall, you would be served well to learn from them. Though we both know you arrogance will not allow such.
[ Snort, smoke, tail twitch. ]
There is not that I shall do or say that will convince you of your errored labeling. I doubt very much your own mate would be able to do so, in the hypothetical that he were so inclined.
