Shiro wasn’t even back on Earth for 24 hours before he was ripped back right into space. In one half day, Shiro got to
breathe his home planet’s air
feel the sun on his skin
feel the ground under his feet
hear natural flowing water
see natural flowing water
smell natural flowing water
touch natural flowing water
smell the wind
Only to have it taken away again later that day. Which is why the line, “I’ve been locked up by aliens for a year. This is nothing!” breaks my heart every time. He’s just so appreciative of freedom in general. He’s genuinely grateful to be anywhere but Galra captivity.
