Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off from the seasons and nature

    There’s a scene from the original Gundam that I think about a lot in this context.

    The MC, having just gotten inside his giant death mech for the first time, is ordered to shoot some enemies (who had been trying to kill him just a moment prior) fleeing the battle. He couldn’t do it.

    The next fight that breaks out, those same enemies are back, in their own giant death machines, and the MC stops to think to himself “this is much easier, they don’t look like humans now”. Then he starts firing his laser.
