“What other damn reckless behavior is this!?”, the raven-haired lieutenant general shouted at you, his face filled with anger as he faced you as the two of you entered his office.

“What do you mean?", you asked definitely not really caring.

“Are you serious?” Kureto looked at you, his crimson eyes locked on you. “I almost killed myself again." He added, you could hear the anger in his voice.

“Why do you care about that?” Living or dying doesn't really mean anything to you, but maybe if you had a reason, you would think differently. Maybe.

The dark-haired men still looked at you, not believing what they had just heard. Sure, you were one of his subordinates but you were certainly important to him, on the battlefield and in other ways. Things have been heating up between the two of you for a long time now. But your reckless behavior made Kureto angry.

“Why do I care?” His voice became louder than before. “Because I care about my troupe. And mainly care about my most important soldiers and you are one of them. His facial structure became even more tense as he had to say these words.

"Sure." You know he's telling the truth but you don't care. “Can we discuss this another time? I was so tired and covered in blood.” Turning towards the door, you grabbed the handle, hoping he would let you go.

“NO. We are discussing this matter now.” Kureto snapped at you.

“Okay what do you want me to say?” You turned around, facing him again. “Do you want me to say sorry? That I won't do it anymore? Because I certainly can't promise this. You know I don't really care if I live or die."

“Yes, that's what I want to hear, just this once I want you to calm down and follow my orders. That you don't run around and get people killed.” The Lieutenant General said, his voice still full of anger but now it had calmed down a bit.
