Scene 16:

War philosophy time.

The room is large and staggered. The professor, through voice, indicates to the long screen on the wall, which words, images, or forms to show. Wanting to probe egos and personalities, the professor opens debate.

Divine war, and the birth of the Earth Nations Alliance. The mere mention is enough to tense positions and set the mental gears in motion. Almost instantly two characters, with their intensity and diction, stand out from the rest. Each belonging to opposite poles of the political spectrum.

Sumire, liberal, progressive, and anti-war. Half Venezuelan, half Japanese, although perhaps the most striking thing about her appearance is the wheelchair she uses to get around. It is the first time you see this mechanism in real life, you thought it was a disability eradicated by technological advances.

Gustavo, strict, conservative, and pro-war. His shirt is girded by the bulging muscles cultivated in the training of the youth perejimeniztas. His values are as steel gray as the color of his eyes.

Sumire and Gustavo, face to face in front of the screen, separated by five meters, begin a battle of reasoning that has been seen many times since the high cost theory. How much death and destruction does humanity need to experience to learn from the past and disappear its hostile ways? What is the best way to make society accept and be willing to pay the price? Doesn't suffering and fighting produce a stronger human being than the one grown among cotton wool?

These are questions without absolute answers that, together with the failure of the old ideologies and the welfare state, gave birth to the modern world. For many, the divine war is the only thing to have faith in, even more than in God. When the alliance or Elon's principality wins, humanity, they hope, will be unified and rowing in a new and clearer direction.

"We pay with thousands of lives for every inch of map" Sumire speaks to discredit.

"Although men and women are falling, we see heroes rising" Gustavo to appreciate.

Tempers flare. The tone rises.

"It is the war that will end all wars!" Gustavo defends the high cost theory.

"Can one war end all wars?!" Sumire questions it.

The professor asserts his authority and stops the experiment. The retorts cease before they can go any further. In the classroom two sides are formed, and the future is mysterious... In which direction will you walk?
