Wufei wondered if he heard Isamu's words correctly. It seemed like such a typical stance where war was concerned, but also not. He took it too far to say that war made them all victims. Maybe from the outside, looking in, it appeared that way, but from Wufei's spot on the inside, he felt none of the appropriate emotions of a victim. "Maybe you are right. Maybe you are wrong," he murmured finally, having let a silence fall between them. "But is not being a victim far more than circumstance? Victim is..." he struggled for another second as he tried to figure out how to say what he wanted and them how to put it into the exact words. A part of him thought that none of the Japanese words fit just what he tried to say. "Victim is not how the world sees you. It is how you see the world. People make you a victim because they give you pity." That one word, pity, was the root of it all.
