[Of course it's atrocious. It's more than that. Humans who think that way are nothing but cancer cells. Now he knows there are some good humans, and some that can learn from the mistakes of the whole race and all. And he wants to cling to that hope, hope that humans can still change and fix things rather than just destroy them all as Hao wants. Because destroying them is easier but... It's unfair for those few who actually aren't cancer cells.
None of that slips from his mouth though, he just smiles and shrugs lightly.]
Like that and worse. Remember the desert? There are very big areas that are nothing but desert by now. And I mean really big areas, big enough to fit more than a thousand of Lucetis. Deserts that aren't natural but the result of nature's exploitation by men's hands. Where nothing grows anymore and water lies hundreds of feet under tons of sand and ground. With villages scattered around it, with just a small bunch of habitants but who still fight to survive, with no education, with no route to escape from that village and reach somewhere else, with no protection against a blazing sun that fries your skin with a mere touch and that burns your eyes no matter what you try, with barely any food. And that's those who are lucky, those who aren't will have all that and be in the middle of a war zone on top of it between groups that don't care about them or about the land they are in, who will throw bombs and explosives to the area and damage the world even more, kill even more.
That grey city? That grey city is a heaven compared with most of the places in my world. And humans, the ones in my world at least, like it that way. They care not about what happens in the deserts even if they are at the same distance we're from the beach right now. They don't care about the sun getting angrier and more ferocious, setting flesh on fire and making eyes explode at certain areas of the world.
[He pauses, because even if he's still smiling and showing a carefree attitude and tone, his words are getting cruder and darker. He continues after a beat.]
Not all humans are like that, though. Many don't think it's alright to keep doing those things, to keep building cities and machines that poison the air. Many actually realize that it's killing the world itself. So they try to fix it, thanks to that we have several protected areas where nature is untouched and animals can live without being hunted... At least not legally.
[That doesn't stop humans from destroying those places though.]
