[-Ohhhh-. He'd heard that post over the journals earlier. Asuka nods, considering his response for a moment.]
...you know, a few years ago, my mother passed away.
[He looks into his cup, remembering it, but not bitter anymore.]
After it happened, my brother and I started fighting a lot. There were a couple of times we really managed to hurt each other.
There wasn't really any good reason for it, it was just because we were both hurting ourselves. It was a lot easier to just get angry than it was to deal with the fact that she was gone.
I think that's how it is for a lot of people here. They're feeling lost or scared because they've lost their worlds, or maybe they just feel like they're not good enough compared to someone else. [That's an important point!] Sometimes people try to prove they're better than other people by fighting, too.
From what I've seen, it's pretty common for people to deal with things just by getting angry like that.
