this is just compounded by the fact that on kamino the clones were probably taught that they werenāt to have any romantic relationships or even love anyone
after all, they were only clones. theyāre replaceable. thatās what theyāve been taught their entire lives. why would someone bother with one of them when thereās millions in the galaxy?
besides, falling in love just isnāt something a clone does. theyāre meant for war and death, made to touch blasters and bombs and never a lover.
so they donāt even let themselves hope. why would cody waste his time thinking about possibilities that will never come to be? heās never going to marry or fall in love or anything. why waste time thinking about that when he could be planning, strategizing?
and then he sees obi-wan. and cody canāt help but fall in love with this caring, stupidly charming general. obi-wan is good, respectful, talented, and he likes talking to cody. he treats him like a person. like someone, not just a body to be used as canon fodder
and obi-wan looks at him in a way cody can only describe as loving. and he lets himself forget what the kaminoans told him. he lets himself believe that heās good enough, special enough to be loved by someone as wonderful as a jedi.
but thereās a moment in the war where both anakin and cody are in the path of a missile, obi-wan between them. another clone takes the blow before it gets near them, but cody doesnāt miss the way obi-wan moved towards anakin instead of towards cody
and he wants to say heās surprised, but deep down it just confirms everything he always knew. heās a clone. heās not meant to be loved. but he doesnāt miss the way general secura looks at bly or the familial laughter coming from general plo and the wolfpack.
and cody wishes he could have that familiarity with someone. that he wouldnāt be second best. and when he sees how the other clones are loved and appreciated, he comes to believe that the defect, the inability to love and be loved, is isolated only to him
perfect cody, stoic commander of the 212th, the best clone in the GAR, is a mistake. defective. wrong.
when order 66 comes, he doesnāt feel anything different. heās always been a tool in someone elseās war. he never had a choice. why would this be any different? here, with the control chip in charge, he can let it do the killing
in the end, cody dies thinking heās defective. heās a machine. itās made him the best clone in the galaxy but itās made him the worst human possible. and he accepts it. heāll never be loved. not in the way he wants to be. so he settles for being known. itās the most heāll get.
the end
