Buddy and JD in the novel / added

As we all know, they are childhood friends. JD tells Leon that Buddy was smart and capable as a child and that he helped JD.

Their district was so poor and starving that it was extremely difficult for a child to survive, and JD says he would not have survived without Buddy.

In this scene in the novel, JD tries to hit Buddy to stop him. Buddy doesn't get angry. (I'm surprised !)

He wraps his hands around JD's fists and recites a poem wishing for independence to persuade JD. This poem appears again at the end, when Buddy returns to being a teacher and teaches it to his students.

In the novel, when JD frees Leon for Buddy, he talks about the severe poverty in the autonomous region.

The adults work hard in despair, but their lives do not improve because of exploitation. People who appealed to the government for independence, or at least improvement, were killed.

The adults could not afford to take care of their children. The children committed crimes from an early age, and were beaten to death when they were found. It was difficult to survive.

Among them, the elders(Ataman) supported the children who were very promising.

These were Sasha (Buddy) and Irina, who were "extremely smart from an early age." And JD told Leon that he would have died like the other children if Buddy had not helped him.

JD has basic knowledge, must sure Buddy and Irina helped him learn.

Buddy was not only JD's childhood friend and best friend, but also his benefactor. JD would never have left Buddy……

Under these circumstances, JD did not say that "Buddy and Irina were blessed with a good family."

Therefore, we can assume that Buddy and Irina had a childhood similar to JD's. (However, since they had promising futures, it is likely that they were supported by the elders.)

Buddy, JD, and Irina's childhoods were by no means peaceful. However, Ataman and the other elders did not train Buddy to be a warrior.

In the Damnation official novel... It was Buddy who shot JD. Buddy held JD in his arms, stroked him, and pulled the trigger.

Buddy held JD in his arms and tried to take him to the doctor. In reality, Buddy must have realized that JD was infected and not just sick. But he was stroking JD and comforting him. Buddy looked very upset...😭

In the novel, Buddy is knowledgeable about Norse mythology and fables, recites poetry, and shows kindness to JD. However, this is not in the main story.

Leon shooting JD is canon.

However, the information in the novel gives depth to the character of Buddy and his relationship with JD.

小説の中のバディとJD

ご存知の通り、彼らは幼なじみです。JDはレオンに、バディは子供の頃から賢く有能で、JDに助けられたと話します。

彼らの地区は貧困と飢餓に苦しみ、子供が生き残るのは至難の業でした。JDはバディがいなければ生き残れなかったと言います。

小説のこのシーンでは、JDはバディを殴って止めようとします。

バディは怒りません。（驚きです！）

彼はJDの拳を両手で包み込み、独立を願う詩を朗読してJDを説得します。

この詩は、バディが教師に戻り、生徒たちに教える場面でも再び登場します。

小説の中で、JDがバディのためにレオンを解放する際、自治区の深刻な貧困について語ります。

大人たちは絶望の中で懸命に働きますが、搾取のために生活は改善しません。 政府に独立、あるいは少なくとも改善を訴えた人々は殺されました。

大人たちは子供たちの面倒を見る余裕がありませんでした。子供たちは幼い頃から犯罪を犯し、見つかると殴り殺されました。 生き残るのは困難な状況でした。

その中でも、長老（アタマン）は将来有望な子供たちを支援していました。

その子供たちこそが「幼い頃から非常に頭が良かった」サーシャ（バディ）とイリーナでした。

そしてJDはレオンに、バディが助けてくれなければ、他の子供たちと同じように死んでいただろうと言いました。

JD には基本的な知識があるので、Buddy と Irina が彼の学習を手助けしたに違いありません。

バディはJDの幼なじみであり親友であるだけでなく、恩人でもありました。 JDは決してバディを見捨てることはなかったでしょう……

このような状況下で、JDは「バディとイリーナは良い家庭に恵まれていた」とは言っていません。

したがって、バディとイリーナもJDと似たような幼少期を過ごしたと考えられます。（しかし、二人は将来が有望だったため、長老たちの支援を受けていた可能性が高いです。）

バディ、JD、そしてイリーナの幼少期は決して平和なものではありませんでした。 しかし、アタマンをはじめとする長老たちは、バディを戦士として訓練しませんでした。

『ダムネーション』公式小説では… JD���撃ったのはバディでした。バディはJDを抱きしめ、撫で、そして引き金を引いたのです。

バディはJDを抱きしめ、医者のところに連れて行こうとしました。実際、バディはJDがただの病気ではなく感染していることに気づいていたはずです。しかし、彼はJDを撫でて慰めていました。 バディはひどく落ち込んでいるように見えました…😭

小説では、バディは北欧神話や寓話に精通し、詩を朗読し、JDに優しく接します。しかし、これは本編には登場しません。

レオンがJDを撃つシーンは正史です。

しかし、小説で描かれる情報は、バディというキャラクターとJDとの関係性に深みを与えています。

After Damnation, considers Buddy's future

I was thinking about the fictional East Slavic land that Buddy will live in after the main story of Damnation.

In the end, it will be dominated by two big countries, and the rich resources will be taken away. It is unlikely that the two superpowers will give up the region's oil and abundant water resources.

Also, it is very likely that the people of the colonial powers will behave arrogantly in East Slavic land. In the real world, poor slavic countries also suffer from human trafficking.

This situation will once again become the ground for an independence movement to break out. In the main story, the Presbyterians, to which Buddy belongs, and the Belikova faction were mortal enemies. But perhaps in the future they will join forces to resist the two great powers.

If that happens, how will Buddy, who was the successor to the now deceased Ataman, the most fastidious and hardline leader, act?

I don't think Buddy, who has returned to teaching in a wheelchair, will join the fight. Leon has also persuaded him. But if a new "movement" does emerge, Buddy's experience fighting to the end in the middle of the siege in the previous battle will be more valuable than anything else.

In the official novel, Buddy did not want to let go of his past. At the end, he declares, "I would do the same thing again if it was for my students." Buddy's resolve had not changed. Unfortunately, it seems that Leon's wholehearted persuasion did not have much of an impact on Buddy.

However, even if a new Guerrilla visits Buddy, I think Buddy will definitely send him away, thinking that the students may be in danger. It will bring back the nightmare of the school being attacked after being mistaken for a Guerrilla hideout...

Buddy is not the kind of man who would run away from a fight to protect himself.

He does it purely for the safety of his students. I think that this aspiration will be quickly conveyed to the newly emerged independence faction and those who follow Buddy. Also, I think that in Buddy's mind, he would never be able to accept joining forces with the Velikova faction.

Still, Buddy has his weaknesses.

If he is persuaded about the students' future, Ataman's last words will cross Buddy's mind. Also, I think Buddy has already put aside his desire for revenge for the sake of his students.

I don't think Buddy, more than anyone else, would allow a demon of revenge to be near his precious students.

In the near future, Buddy will become a candidate for elder again (it may be the case now), but if he does, he will not be able to stay away from politics and the independence movement.

Buddy has been trained by Ataman as his successor, and his courage, strong will, experience, and knowledge are all needed more than anything in poor areas.

Even if Buddy thinks he's "tired of fighting," the region's reconstruction and the children's future cannot be separated from the political situation. Buddy is a man who puts the future of the students first.

Of course, I think he values ​​the words of his benefactor Leon, but compared to the students, it's still a small thing for Buddy.

Ultimately, it depends on how much the two superpowers can control their arrogance.

I think whether Buddy gets involved in the fight again depends on how much the children's future can be protected.

バディがこれから住む、ダムネ本編以後の架空の東slavについて考えていた。

結局２つの大国に支配され、豊かな資源は奪われるよね。二大大国がこの地区の石油や水資源を諦めるとは思えない。

それに、宗主国の人間達は東slav内で傲慢で振る舞う可能性はとても高い。現実世界でも、貧しいslavの国々はhuman traffickingに苦しんでもいる

この状況は、再び独立運動が巻き起こる地盤になってしまう。本編内では不倶戴天の敵同士だった、バディが属する長老派とベリコバ派。もしかしたら、２つの大国に抵抗するために手を組む未来があるかもしれない。

そうなったら、今は亡き最も潔癖な強硬派アタマンの後継者だったバディはどう動くのか。

車椅子で教師に戻ったバディは、戦いには加わらないとは思う。Leonの説得もあった。でも新たな『運動』が起きた場合、先の戦いでは、包囲網の真ん中で最後まで戦ったバディの経験は何より貴重なはず

公式小説では、バディは過去を捨てたいとは思っていなかった。

ラストは「生徒のためなら、また同じことをする」と明言して閉幕する。バディの決意は変わっていなかった。残念ながら、レオンの渾身の説得はバディにそこまで響いていなかったらしい😭

とはいえ、新たなguerrillaがバディを訪ねてきたとしても、バディは生徒が危険に巻き��まれる可能性を考えて、きっぱり追い返すと思う。かつて、guerrillaの潜伏先だと誤認されて、学校が攻撃された悪夢がよみがえるだろうから……。

バディは自分の保身に戦いから逃げる男ではない。

純粋に生徒達の安全のため。その志は、新たに勃興した独立派、バディの後続者達にもすぐに伝わると思う。 また、バディの意識としては、ベリコバ派と共闘するなんてことは絶対に受け入れられないんじゃないかな。

それでも、バディにも弱点はある。

生徒の未来について説得されたら、アタマンの最後の言葉がバディの頭をよぎるだろうし。それにバディは、生徒のために復讐心はもう捨てていると思うんだよね。復讐の鬼なんかが、大切な生徒達のそばにいることを、他の誰よりバディが許さないと思う。

近い将来、バディは再び長老候補になるだろうけど（今もそうかもしれない）そうなったら政治や独立派と無縁ではいられない。バディはアタマンから後継者として薫陶を受けてきたし、彼の勇敢さも強い意志も経験も知識も、貧しい地域にとっては何より必要とされるもの。

バディが「戦いはもううんざり」という考えだったとしても、地域の復興も子ども達の未来も、政情と切り離せないよね。

バディは生徒の未来が最優先の男。もちろん恩人であるLeonの言葉も大切にしているとは思うけど、今も昔も生徒と天秤にかけたらバディにとっては軽い。

最終的には、２つの大国がどこまで自分たちの傍若無人さを抑えられるかにかかっていると言えそう。

バディが再び戦いに関わるのかどうかは、子ども達の未来がどこまで守られるのかに因るんだと思う。

【Buddy's autonomous region, Age, End of the novel】

It is implied that Buddy and his friends were fighting against ethnic cleansing by the government. In the first place, civilians, including JD's teachers, were taking refuge in the underground passage used by the guerrillas. However, as we all know, the government spread disease in Buddy's area.

JD's "extermination" statement, and Ada's "soon to be cleansed." Leon learned that ethnic cleansing would soon occur, and although he couldn't find Buddy, he hurried back to the church to help JD.

Leon had feelings for JD from the beginning (I get that...), so I thought Leon was only chasing Buddy because he wanted to grant JD's wish. But if Buddy's existence itself was a "question" or "element of judgment" for Leon's beliefs, then of course he would be obsessed with Buddy.

Buddy is 34 years old. I'm glad to know his age.

I assumed Buddy was in his late 20s. That's because JD, who is the same age as Buddy, looked very innocent and youthful for his age. And also because I didn't want Buddy to continue his guerrilla activities for too long. Because it would be hard for me. If he got engaged early, Buddy could have been a guerrilla for about 10 years 😢 It's sad to think that.

Buddy's heart was with his dead student and his fiance all those years, and he lived only thinking about revenge against Belikova... It's too long and too single-minded.

There must have been some peaceful periods during those 10 years. At that time, Buddy might have been thinking of giving up on his revenge, thinking "If only I could become independent..." This is because he is not naturally aggressive and has never even touched a gun before.

But in the end, the BOW was unleashed on the hometown he was protecting, and after six months of being driven to the brink of being reduced to ashes, his hatred must have grown even stronger.

It seems like Buddy being a teacher will become a distant memory. But for Buddy, who lived solely for revenge, those 10 years may have flown by in the blink of an eye. The main story's lack of hesitation was probably due to the fact that he had his students and his fiancée in his heart.

Leon was beginning to feel doubts and a sense of stagnation about the path he was on. Buddy was not like that, and remained single-minded about revenge. And so he withdrew from the fight. I think that was also a contrast between the two of them.

At the end of the official novel, even after that experience and listening to Leon's persuasion, Buddy still thinks vividly, "I'll do the same thing for the students" (he hasn't learned his lesson at all, and Leon's lecture doesn't resonate with him 😭).

If Buddy's existence is a mirror of Leon, then perhaps he is intentionally portrayed in contrast to Leon, who was fed up with everything.

When I think of all that tragedy and his plea to Leon at the end, I thought it would be reasonable to think that Buddy was also fed up with everything. So, I was a little surprised that at the end of the novel, Buddy hadn't learned his lesson at all. Because I thought that after hearing Leon's words and becoming wheelchair-bound, Buddy had regretted his past choices.

But I'm glad that Buddy has made a comeback and is thinking, "I'll do it again" ✨ Kozachenko is a man who will regain himself through willpower even if he is alone for the sake of his students.

The chief Ataman whom Buddy respected made the same choice and almost the same thing happened to him. This may have been the key to Buddy's self-acceptance.

For Buddy to be too critical of his own choice would be to reject Ataman, who made the same choice. Ataman is an elder who has continued to fight until old age, from partisans to the Soviet Union, the oligarchs, and President Velikova.

It is not stated that the ataman had always been involved in fighting. However, in such turbulent times, it is hard to imagine that someone could suddenly become a guerrilla leader without having been involved in fighting at all. I assume that he had been building up a track record since he was young.

It is very sad that Ataman could not taste peace until the end.

But, Ataman didn't suicide because he was tired. He injected Ampoule because he wanted to leave a peaceful future for Buddy and children.

Buddy was truly Ataman's pupil and successor. Although Ataman had been involved in war for a long time, he was able to believe in hope and lead the young people.

Buddy has a clear role model to aspire to - the Ataman - so it makes sense that he would feel an affinity to the position of elder. It is easy to imagine Buddy becoming an old man much like Ataman. When that happens, he will surely be leading young men who look like his former self.

If I may add…… Unfortunately, paraplegics face many challenges in living a long life, so it remains to be seen whether Buddy will be able to live that long.

【相棒の自治区、年齢、小説の終わり】

バディと仲間たちは、政府による民族浄化に抵抗していたことが示唆されています。そもそも、JDの教師を含む民間人は、ゲリラが利用していた地下道に避難していました。しかし、周知の通り、政府はバディの居住地域に病気を蔓延させました。

JDの「絶滅」発言と、エイダの「間もなく浄化される」発言。レオンは民族浄化が間もなく起こることを知り、バディを見つけられなかったものの、JDを助けるために教会へ急いだ。

レスは最初からJDに好意を抱いていた（それは分かります…）ので、レオンがバディを追いかけるのはJDの願いを叶えたいからだとばかり思っていました。しかし、バディの存在自体がレオンにとっての「疑問」や「判断材料」だったとしたら、彼がバディに執着するのは当然でしょう。

バディは34歳です。彼の年齢を知ることができて嬉しいです。

バディは20代後半くらいだと思っていました。同い年のJDが、年齢の割にとても純粋で若々しく見えたからです。それと、バディにゲリラ活動を長く続けてほしくなかったというのもあります。私にとっては大変ですからね。もし早く婚約していたら、バディは10年くらいゲリラ活動を続けていたかも���れませんね😢 考えると悲しいですね。

バディの心は、亡くなった教え子と婚約者とともに、ベリコワへの復讐だけを考えて生きてきた... それはあまりにも長く、あまりにも一途すぎる。

10年の間には、きっと穏やかな時期もあったはずだ。バディはその時、「自立できればいいのに…」と復讐を諦めようとしていたかもしれない。というのも、彼はもともと攻撃的な性格ではなく、銃すら触ったことがないからだ。

しかし結局、守っていた故郷にBOWが放たれ、灰燼に帰す寸前まで追い詰められた6ヶ月を経て、彼の憎しみはさらに強くなったに違いない。

バディにとって教師時代は遠い記憶となりそうだ。しかし、復讐に生きたバディにとって、この10年間は​​あっという間だったのかもしれない。本編で彼がためらいを感じなかったのは、生徒と婚約者への想いがあったからだろう。

レオンは自分の歩む道に疑問と閉塞感を抱き始めていました。バディはそうではなく、復讐という一点にこだわり、戦いから身を引いてしまいました。そこもまた、二人の対照的な部分だったと思います。

公式小説の終盤では、あの経験を経てレオンの説得を聞きながらも、バディは「俺も生徒のために同じことをしてやる」と鮮烈に思っている（全く懲りておらず、レオンの説教も心に響かない😭）。もしバディの存在がレオンの鏡だとしたら、全てに嫌気がさしたレオンと対比させるように意図的に描かれているのかもしれない。

あの悲劇の数々、そして最後にレオンに懇願した場面を考えると、バディもまた全てにうんざりしていたと考えるのが妥当だろうと思いました。ですから、小説のラストでバディが全く教訓を学んでいなかったことに少し驚きました。レオンの言葉を聞いて車椅子生活になったバディは、過去の選択を後悔していたと思っていたからです。

でも、バディが復活して「またやるぞ」と思ってくれているのが嬉しいです✨コザチェンコは生徒のためなら一人でも意志の力で立ち直る男です。

バディが尊敬していた首長アタマンも同じ選択をし、ほぼ同じことが起こりました。これがバディの自己受容の鍵となったのかもしれません。

バディが自らの選択を批判しすぎることは、同じ選択をしたアタマンを拒絶することになる。アタマンはパルチザンからソ連、オリガルヒ、そしてヴェリコワ大統領に至るまで、老齢に至るまで戦い続けてきた長老である。

アタマンが常に戦闘に関わっていたとは記されていない。しかし、このような激動の時代において、戦闘経験のない者が突然ゲリラのリーダーになるなどとは考えにくい。おそらく彼は若い頃から実績を積み重ねてきたのだろう。

アタマンが最後まで平和を味わえなかったのは非常に悲しいことです。

しかし、アタマンは疲れて自殺したわけではない。バディと子供たちに平和な未来を残したい一心で、アンプルを注射したのだ。

バディはまさにアタマンの弟子であり、後継者でした。アタマンは長らく戦争に関わっていましたが、希望を信じ、若者たちを導くことができました。

バディにはアタマンという明確なロールモデルがいるので、長老という立場に親近感を抱くのも当然でしょう。バディがアタマンのように老人になる姿は容易に想像できます。そうなれば、きっとかつての自分と似た若者たちを率いることになるのでしょう。

付け加えると、残念ながら下半身麻痺患者が長生きするには多くの困難が伴うため、バディがそこまで長生きできるかどうかは未知数ではあります…。

Damnation Official Novel scene / Buddy（Sasha）

In official novel, right after Buddy is insulted by Belikova through the glass in the main story, Buddy is extremely shaken up, and is pushed to the brink of having his brain taken over by the Plagas.…… Plaga's was not a forceful control, but a sweet temptation.

In the novel, Plaga tempts Buddy's brain. "Let's give up on being human."

When Buddy was about to surrender to Plaga, a memory of the Elementary School being bombed flashed back to his mind.

Buddy was crushed together with a student named Makar, and was completely unable to move. When the student confessed, "I told mom I don't want the Salo my mom made for me this morning…… but I wonder if there's still some left," Buddy encouraged him, saying, "Of course she'll make some more!"

But the student had already died.

Buddy continued to watch the student rotting, covered in flies, until he was dug up.

The anger he felt at that moment burned away Plaga's temptation. Personally, this was the best part of the Damnation novel. I don't think Buddy will ever eat Salo again.

His anger was beautiful. This scene defined the character of Buddy in my mind.

In the main story, there are almost no scenes where Buddy himself talks about his feelings, especially since we see information about Buddy through JD's eyes. Buddy and Irina are far more important to JD than the students.

But when you look at the official novel, the scene where Buddy shakes off the control of the Plaga shows the student dying, and in the initial draft of the official materials, Buddy becomes a guerrilla for the students even if his fiancée is still alive.

And at the end, Buddy returns to being a teacher. In the novel, he has already fully recovered, and we see Buddy watching over his students with warmth.

That's not the case in the movie, but off screen, Buddy's core was his students. He becomes a guerrilla for his students, and at the end, even though he is alone, he recovers and stands up for his students.

I love Buddy, so I also incorporate the contents of the novel into information about him. This is the difficult part. I want the movie to portray everything in the movie, so I basically consider the novel to be AU of the same theme and the same characters. However, Unfortunately, Buddy's resources are limited. Fortunately I didn't feel there was much of a discrepancy in Buddy's character between the movie and the novel.

【ダムネーション公式小説シーン / バディ（サーシャ）】

公式小説では、本編でベリコヴァにガラス越しに辱められた直後、バディは激しく動揺し、プラーガに脳を乗っ取られる寸前まで追い詰められます。…… プラーガのそれは、強引な支配ではなく、甘い誘惑でした。

小説版では、プラーガはバディの脳を誘惑します。「人間であることを諦めよう」

プラーガに屈服しそうになったバディの脳裏に、小学校が爆撃された時の記憶が蘇ります。

バディはマカールという生徒と共に押し潰され、身動きが取れなくなっていました。 「今朝、お母さんが作ってくれたサロがいらないってお母さんに言ったのに……まだ残っているかな」と生徒が打ち明けると、バディは「もちろん、また作ってくれるよ！」と励まします。

しかし、その生徒は既に亡くなっていた。

バディは、蠅にまみれ、朽ちゆく生徒を掘り起こされるまで見続けた。

その時の怒りが、プラーガの誘惑を焼き尽くした。

個人的には、これが『ダムネーション』小説の最高の場面だ。

バディは二度とサロを食べることはないだろう。

彼の怒りは美しかった。このシーンが、私の中でバディというキャラクターを決定づけた。

本編では、バディ自身が自分の気持ちを語る場面はほとんどなく、特にJDの目を通してバディの情報が描かれている。JDにとって、バディとイリーナは生徒よりもはるかに重要だった。

しかし、公式小説を見ると、バディがプラーガの支配から逃れるシーンは生徒が死ぬ場面であり、公式資料の初期稿では、婚約者が生きていても、バディは生徒のためにゲリラ活動を行うことになる。

そして最後に、バディは教師に戻ります。小説では既に完全に回復し、生徒たちを温かく見守るバディの姿が描かれています。

映画ではそうではありませんが、画面外では、バディの核は生徒たちでした。彼は生徒たちのためにゲリラとなり、最後は孤独ながらも立ち直り、生徒たちのために立ち上がります。

私はバディが大好きなので、小説の内容も彼の情報に取り入れています。ここが難しいところです。 映画では映画のすべてを描きたいので、小説は基本的に同じテーマ、同じ登場人物のAUだと考えています。 しかし、残念ながらバディに使えるリソースは限られています。 幸いなことに、映画と小説でバディのキャラクターに大きな乖離は感じませんでした。

Buddy's profile バディのプロフィール

[Buddy character settings] The description above the buddy image on the top right side says: One of the central figures of the rebel forces in the East Slav Republics.

A former elementary school teacher, he devoted himself to anti-government activities after losing his fiancée, Irina, who was a colleague. His skill as a warrior is not inferior to Leon's. His childhood friend JD, who likes American things, calls him Buddy.

Leon and Buddy are the same age!

[Reply from Buddy, first letter]

To the American who saved me

Thank you for the letter and magazine. I'm sorry for the late reply to you. When I received your letter in my hospital room, I was still under the control of painkillers and was not in a position to write a reply.

I don't know your address, but I found someone in your country who has connections with your unit, so I will entrust this letter to him. His name is XXX. When I said, "One eye covered hairstyle, good-looking American man, blue eyes, nosy, I don't know his real name but he called himself Leon, probably likes alcohol," he seemed to know who you were right away. Are you a celebrity?

Anyway, after I regained consciousness, the hospital room was boring and I didn't know anyone except for rehabilitation. Your letter and movie magazines helped me to heal that. To be honest, I didn't expect your letter. For you, it may have been just a whim, just like what you did to help me.

I won't say that I don't have any thoughts, including the fact that you shot me for a reason other than my intention. But you did everything you could. As the pain fades, so will my resentment towards you. If this is the last time, I would like to end by thanking you. Thank you.

[Reply from Buddy, 7rd letter]

To my friend Leon

Thank you for your letter.

I like writing letters. Please send as many as you like. I remembered that I used to write many letters and used to exchange diaries with friends. They all burned and I don't have them anymore, but they remind me of precious happy memories.

My health is fine now. I'm in no pain and my rehabilitation went well. The doctor has given me the stamp of approval, so please rest assured.

By the way, I had applied for a room in a wheelchair-accessible condominium without knowing it, and I was going to move there. That's why I decided to write this letter in a hurry.

You will deny your involvement as before. But I think this is your consideration, and you would like to know the results, right? I've started to thank you more often.

You will be able to come to my room any time and enjoy my hospitality. I promise.

Alexander Kozachenko

[Reply from Buddy, 10rd letter]

Dear Leon

Thank you for coming to my home.

After your last visit, I was thinking about what I should have done. If that present thing made you so happy, I wanted to give you something better…etc.

I am not used to expressing my emotions. My upbringing... No, talking about the past is not going to help. But, when I calm down and think about the past, I regret not expressing my love and gratitude to the people I care about, and the times when I hesitated because I was busy with my daily life.

I was taught that expressing my feelings is free and is the most effortless expression of affection. So, I decided to write this letter.

You are a very important person to me. I will think about what it means later. At the very least, I can say that you are the closest friend I have now, after losing everything in the civil war.

I wish you luck and peace.

Sasha

[Reply from Buddy, 20rd letter]

Mr. Leon S. Kennedy

I'm going to let you know what happened. I have been appointed to work as a teacher in a new school building renovated with the aid of the United States.

I have been thinking about you. I have been living as a guerrilla for many years now. That is why I am also anxious. You know what kind of man I was, right?

And I can no longer just wait for you and relax. I have cried in front of you, and your kindness and passion up until now……there were times when I thought I could keep waiting for you like this forever.

It is very difficult to say this, but I think our relationship has become too complicated.

I am not in a position to build a new relationship. Not only emotionally, but also physically and environmentally. Your position is not typical either. It is very painful to admit that I am dysfunctional.

I cannot say any more in a letter. Please guess. I don't know if I want to see you now. Who can refuse when you beg me?

I am not saying that I cannot trust you. I am always truly grateful for your support and warm friendship. You will always be my benefactor and friend.

From Sasha

[Reply from Buddy, 32rd letter]

Моє сонечко(My sunshine)

I am really glad that you are happy. When I think of you with that contented smile on your face, I also feel happy. I am looking forward to the new you coming to my house.

But I have said before that you write too much. You should think about me, who received that postcard from the postman the other day.

バディの返事

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

【バディからの返信、一通目】

私を救ってくれたアメリカ人へ

手紙と雑誌をありがとう。 返事が遅くなってすみません。 病室に届いたあなたの手紙を受け取った時、まだ俺は鎮痛剤の支配下にあって手紙の返事を書くどころではありませんでした。

あなたの住所が分からず、あなたの国であなたの部隊と関わりがある人を見付けたので、その人にこの手紙を託します。○○○という名の人です。 「片目を隠したヘアスタイル、美形のアメリカ人男性、お節介で、本名は分からないが呼び名はレオン、多分酒好き」と言ったら、誰なのか分かったようです。あなたはもしかして有名人なのでしょうか？

とにかく、意識がはっきりしたあとは、リハビリテーション以外、病室は退屈で私には知り合いもいません。 あなたの手紙と映画雑誌はそれを癒してくれました。 正直に言うと、あなたからの手紙は予想外です。 あなたにとっては私を助けたことと同じ、気まぐれの一つかもしれませんね。

あなたが私の意図とは別の理由で撃ったことを含め、思うところがないとは言いません。 ですが、あなたは出来ること全てをしてくれました。痛みが薄れれば、あなたへのわだかまりも薄れるでしょう。 これが最後なら、お礼を言って終わりにしたいと思います。ありがとう。

私の友人レオンへ

御手紙ありがとう。 手紙は好きです。いくらでも送ってください。

かつて、何通も書きましたし、友人達と交換日記を書いていたことを思い出しました。全て燃えてしまって手元にはありませんが、貴重な幸せな記憶を思い出します。

私の体調はもう大丈夫のようです。痛みはなく、リハビリテーションもうまくいきました。

ところで、私はいつのまにか、車椅子仕様のマンションの一室に入居できることになっていました。そこで、急遽この手紙を書くことにしたのです。

あなたは今まで同様関与を否定するでしょう。でも、これはあなたの配慮だと考えていますし、あなたも結果が知りたいはず。 またお礼を言うことが増えました。

あなたはいつでもこの部屋に来て、私のもてなしを受けることが出来るでしょう。約束します。

レオンへ

先日我が家へ来てくれてありがとう。 あなたの来訪のあと、反省点を考えていました。あの贈り物であんなに喜ぶなら、もっと良いものをプレゼントすれば良かった、とか……。

私は感情を表現することに慣れていません。私の育ちは……いえ、昔のことを言ってもどうにもなりません。 ですが、落ち着いて過去のことを考えてみて、大切な人たちに愛情や感謝を表現してこなかったこと、日常に忙しくてためらった時のこと、これらを後悔しています。

気持ちを伝えるのは無料で、最も手間のかからない親愛の表しかただと教わりました。なので、この手紙を書くことにしました。

あなたは私にとって、とても重要な人間です。どういう意味かは、これから考えるとします。 少なくとも、あなたは、内戦で全て喪った今の私にとって最も親しい友人だと言えるでしょう。

あなたに武運と平穏を祈ります。

サーシャ

Mr. レオン・Ｓ・ケネディ

起きたことをご報告します。 アメリカの支援で改築された新校舎に教師として勤務することが決まりました。

あなたのことを考えていました。 もう何年もゲリラとして生きてきて、不安もあります。あなたは私がどんな男だったかお知りでしょう？

それに、私はただ、あなたを待ってゆっくり過ごしてはいられなくなります。 あなたの前で泣いてしまったこと、これまでのあなたの優しさと情熱……。このままあなたを待っていてもいい、と思ったこともあります。

とても言いにくいのですが、私たちの関係は複雑になりすぎていると思っています。

私は新しい関係を築ける状態にないのです。感情的にはもちろん、肉体的にも、環境的にも。あなたの立場も一般的とは言えません。 自分が機能不全だと認めるのはとても辛いことです。

これ以上は手紙では話せません。どうか推測してください。あなたに会いたいかどうかも、今は分かりません。あなたに懇願されて断れる人がいるでしょうか？

あなたが信用できないと言っているわけではありません。 あなたの応援と温かな友情にはいつも心から感謝しています。あなたはいつまでも私の恩人であり友人です。

サーシャより

あなたが幸せそうで私も本当に嬉しい。あなたが、あの満ち足りた笑顔を浮かべているところを考えると、私も幸せです。 新しいあなたが私の家にやって来ることを心から待っています。

しかし、あなたは開けっ広げに何でも文字を書きすぎだと前にも言いました。この前の葉書を、郵便配達人から手渡された私のことを考えるべきです。

Apparently Buddy is currently living at Leon's house due to surgery. Amazing.

Buddy, who came to the US with Leon, is to alcohol…😭 My heart aches when I see Buddy cover his face with his hand even though he is alone and no one can see him😭And I think it's typical of Buddy.

Kennechenko/Dark Sides【Leon's hollow monologue】

Please let me participate. @rerarepairmonth Week 5 - Date Night, Dark Sides, Underground/Undersea, FREE SPACE - May 25th to May 31st

Leon's monologue after damnation. After sleeping with Buddy, Leon returns to America.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I usually speak Japanese. I translated it using Google Translate. It's a bit strange in places, but please look at it with one eye gently. I'll fix it if I can after looking at the folds. Sorry if the English is weird because it's Google translation ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Leon sipped his drink and looked at the empty glass.

It had been a long time since Leon had sex, and Buddy, his last partner, appeared in his dreams many times.

To tell the truth, he preferred a more aggressive type, but now it was different.

Since Buddy was passive in reality, Leon acted more dominant than usual.

Even though he didn't insert it that time, in Leon's dream he always held Buddy until the end, and when he woke up, he felt so empty and made him feel self-loathing.

Even in dreams, Buddy was quiet, and at least it would be fine if he could just explode in a dream.

Leon stopped remembering the dream in detail due to the throbbing in his lower body.

"………"

Not wanting to feel embarrassed, he poured himself another drink.

Isn't it not love that makes him dream so many times, but guilt?

──Why did you let me touch you, Buddy.

It was Leon's decision to kiss him, and Buddy hadn't shown any interest in him at all.

He wasn't that type of guy at all, and on top of that, he was a virgin.

──Did you like me? If

Buddy must have hated Leon because he shot him, that's how it should be.

There's no way he could have such feelings on me.

But….

I had been a little braver, I could have stayed there for a while and asked Buddy when he woke up in the medical facility.

In reality, I couldn't bear the reality that I shot him in the back that I had just caressed, so I quickly left the country without checking whether Buddy was alive or dead.

Even though I was asked to do it, Buddy might have come to his senses and complained about me. I couldn't bear it.

I was trying not to think about it because my longing for him was growing and I was worried it would ruin me -- but Buddy wouldn't let go from his heart.

Will this continue until I sleep with someone else who I'm attracted to by some miraculous chance?

Fin.

"No way. I was just running a little simulation in my head."

[leosasha2025]

My English ability is very questionable, so when I write a sentence, I use multiple free translations. Then I correct it. I can't do it if I don't have the energy, so my comments may be delayed.

Also, maybe it's just my X, but it's no good anymore. Automatic translation is often not possible, and even if I search for the Leo Sasha tag, the search results are 0… (That can't be true)

I want to move X's my post here…

[Letter from Leon, 3rd letter]

To Buddy

I'm glad things are going well. Thank you for accepting my lengthy apology last time. You're probably thinking that the first letter was so flippant and short, right? I just wanted to see if I'd get a reply, and if so, what kind of reply.

Of course I did it to save you, but I've been… No, I won't repeat myself like a baby after you accepted it.

There are a few other things I'd like to thank you for...for pointing out my spelling mistake last time and not being lenient with me. Sensei. I'll make an excuse, but I wrote this in a hurry, or rather, I didn't have the courage and I was drinking.

When you're ready to be discharged from the hospital, please contact ○○○○ at ○○. Let me know when you've decided on a new address.

From Americans

[Letter from Leon, 7th letter]

Dear Mr. Kozachenko

How are you feeling?

You don't know where to send the letter addressed to me? My letters arrive you in bulk? I guess it can't be helped since I'm from overseas. The quickest way to get it to me is to have it sent to my workplace, but there's a chance that other people will see it, so I think it's best to send it to my home.

I'm sorry we can't have a conversation.

But this is a letter for my mental health. If it's too much of a burden for you, I'll stop. But you're the type of person who will tell me clearly if you don't like it, and you won't put up with it, right? I hope so.

When I get some time off, can I suddenly come over to your house again? I might be relaxing at your house by the time this letter arrives.

Leon

[Letter from Leon, 15th letter/postcard]

To my Buddy

I don't know what to do. I've been thinking about your face all this time. Can I come over to your house again?

Please stay healthy.

[Letter from Leon, 17th letter]

To my dear Sasha

I hope this letter reaches you. My feelings haven't changed.

This isn't because I feel guilty about shooting you. I'm not saying that it doesn't exist. I'll say it first. I know this might seem like an afterthought, but it's true.

I was attracted to you from the moment we first met.

The truth is, I went to visit you when you were in the hospital. But you were in a daze. You looked so distressed that I quickly left. I regret it from the bottom of my heart.

with love

[Letter from Leon, 23rd letter/postcard]

My dearest Buddy

Hey Darling, I want to see you. Anyway, I'm okay now. Why do you think that is? I want to meet you and talk about it. I love you. Yours, Leon

Fin.

バディへ

経過が良好で良かった。 この前は長々とした謝罪を受け入れてくれてありがとう。一通目はあんなに軽口で短い手紙だったのに、って思っているだろう？あれは、お前からの返信があるかどうか、あるとしたら、どんな返信か、確認するためだった。

もちろん救うためにやったことだが、俺はずっと……。いや、お前が受け入れてくれたのに女々しく繰り返すのはやめる。

他にいくつか礼を言うとしたら…… スペルミスを指摘して、多目に見てくれなかったこともありがとう。先生。 急いで、というより、酒を飲んで書いたんだよ。勇気が出なくてね。

病院から退院する目処が立ったら、○○の○○○に連絡してみてくれ。新しい住所が決まったら、教えて。

親愛なるコザチェンコ先生

体調はどう？

俺宛の手紙を、どこに送ったらいいか分からない？何通もまとめて届く？海外からだから仕方がないかもしれないな。 職場に送ってもらうのが一番早く俺の手に届くんだが、他の人間に見られる可能性があるから、やはり自宅だな。 会話が成立しなくてすまない。

でも、これは俺のメンタルヘルスのための手紙なんだ。もしお前にとって負担ならやめるよ。でも、お前は嫌ならハッキリ言うタイプで、我慢なんてしないだろう？そうであって欲しい。

休暇が取れたらまた急に行ってもいいかな？この手紙が着く頃には、お前の家で寛いでいるかもしれない。

この手紙がちゃんと届くといいんだが。俺の気持ちは変わらない。 これは君を撃った罪悪感からの気持ちじゃない。それがないとは言わないけど。 先に言っておくよ。こんなことを言うと、後だしだと思われるだろう。でも本当なんだ。 最初に会った瞬間から、君に惹かれていた。

実は、君が病院にいた時に見舞いに行った。でも君は朦朧としていた。君はあまりにも苦しそうで、足早に去ってしまった。もう取り戻せないが、そのことをいつも心の底から後悔している。
