Thank you very much to Max for commissioning this episode!
So this is a really heavy episode, in which we learn a lot more about the genocide of the Ishvalan people and the ways in which the folks we have gotten to know reacted to the orders they were given at the time. There's something reassuring about the fact that some of them had a major issue with what they were being asked to do, but it's upsetting to know how few of them actively resisted. The soldier's drive to obery runs very deep.
Thanks a ton to everyone for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
