PART 17
of the dfk audiobook translation
@cnka
Bökh: „Over 20 years ago, there was also a boarding school here, as you might know. And there were teachers that were good and others that were less good. And there were Externs and Internals. And there was a boy who was as homesick as you, Uli. And who read as much as Martina. Loved cake like Matze. And wanted to become a pop star, like you, Jo. And he had an enemy. His name was Robert. He was an Extern from the town here. And although this Robert seemed the have everything the boy wanted, he still picked on him. Pushed him around and made fun of him… Well, like the Externs have done with the Internals for generations, right.“
Jo: „And vice versa.“
Bökh: „Exactly. And vice versa.“
Bökh: „…yes. And one day, the boy’s mother got sick. She was brought here to Kirchberg into the hospital and the boy snuck away from the boarding school every day to visit her. And one day he was caught by the boarding school director. And he got grounded.“
Martina: „Couldn’t he just say what was up?“
Bökh: „No, because it was a very… cold and stern man whom he didn’t trust. And Robert in turn knew from his father, who was a doctor at the hospital, that the boy’s mother was fighting for her life there. So he offered his help."
Bökh: „And so every night he layed in the boarding school bed in place of the boy. So that he could visit his mother. And then they became really good friends. Even had a band together. They weren’t all that bad.“ (sighs)
Bökh: „I certainly don’t need to tell you who this boy was, right?"
All of the kids in unison: „You, Herr Bökh.“
Bökh: „Exactly. And why I’m telling you this story.“
Uli: „I think I understand it.“
Matze: „So we get Chips and Lemonade?“
(chuckling)
Jo: „The Externs today aren’t like that.“
Bökh: „Jo, I obviously care about two things. Firstly; rules are well and good, but not as important as humanity. Ok? And secondly I want you to trust me, that you’re not afraid to come to me. Okay?“
The kids nod.
Bökh looks at his watch.
Bökh: „Alright. I need to get a bit of work done now.“
Martina: „But what happened to Robert?“
Bökh slumps back in his seat with a heavy sigh.
Bökh: „Ach. Robert, he… I think he later studied medicine in the city. Ah, we unfortunately lost touch.“
Jo: „Why?“
Bökh: „… Well, that- That happens sometimes when you become an adult, then… suddenly, your closed loved ones are gone.“
Jo: „… What, just like that?“
Bökh nods silently.
Bökh: „… Mhm.“
Matze: „How sad… I think friends should always stick together.“
Bökh: „Yeah, exactly.“
Jo: „Can’t you prevent that somehow?“
Bökh: „Yes. We need to look out for each other. Ok?“
Bökh: „Alright. I need to get a bit of work done now. Take your lemonades with you.“
The kids scuffle and stand up. Jo takes a bowl of chips with her as well.
Uli: „Thank you."

We see the attack on the jedi temple in ep 3, the Kenobi show and from Grogu, and they all show how horrific it was, but none of those have shown us the elderly.
It is only logical that during the war most of the people in the temple were those too old or sick to fight, yet, in all of these scenes we are only shown what appears to be mid-life adults.
But I just can't stop thinking about the elderly jedi.
The jedi who haven't picked up their lightsabers in 10 years, let alone actually turned it on, standing up to protect their homes. The jedi who gave themselves one final mission, to save as many of their people's children as they can. The jedi who fought in their hover chairs, who didn't even try to evacuate, who tried to stall the onslaught for just a little while longer.
I get really emotional thinking about the elderly jedi who are typically forgotten in these discussions.

Alright I'm reading an old RenRuki fic I wrote in 2015 (waaaay back in my drafts, pre-Bleach ending btw) and the basic premise is that Hisagi approaches Renji to write a feature for Seireitei Communication about how people in the Living World lead their lives, what they do for fun, etc. as a nice little primer to increase morale among officers who are going there for the first time and could use something that's not out of like, a textbook for reference. Long story short, he ends up going to the Living World with Rukia and they do a lot of fun things and realize hey,,,,,this is kind of like a date,,,,,and then stubbornly never talk about it again (until they do) .
