I'd wonder if I made this secret in my sleep except I'm not an older sister. But I can still relate to her protectiveness and my own life is very similar to the epilogue. As others have said, she didn't want to be a warrior and that, to me, is all the more reason why the epilogue just makes sense. In my case, I chose "settling down" because honestly I don't think I could cope with anything else at this point. I went in voluntarily and loved it but combat wore me down and messed me up and I just want a very quiet and peaceful life now. I can't handle being responsible for others' lives in dire situations anymore, I can't handle the horror of witnessing frequent violent death and maiming, and I can't handle doing those things anymore. I want grocery shopping and school runs and focusing my energy on creating and nurturing life, not destroying it. Getting married and having kids has been the best thing I've ever done in life. I don't think feminism in the real world is about women not doing these things, it's about having the choice to do or not do according to our desires.

Honestly, those things sound...nice.

I feel like a coward for saying it, but I just don't want to go back. People have to live there every day though, and that's the only thing that makes me pull myself together and face the day. I'm there, I have a weapon, and I will save who I can. I can't walk away. I see their faces, and I can't.

But when the war is over, if it's ever over, I want to come home, and get married to someone, and maybe have a kid? Be normal. Forget. I want grocery shopping on payday and walking the dog at night and feeling like I'm not a freak of nature.
