It's a slow day with the new recruits coming in and getting used to the life and responsibilities on base. König is sitting in the mess hall with you, all the way in the back, and a recruit that recently took interest in trying to befriend König and you is sitting in front of you both chatting your ears away. The recruit kept talking as König tried his best to eat and ignore them. But a sensitive topic came up and this catches your attention. König is listening quietly besides you as the recruit talks about how he saw scars on another soldier's inner arms when they were training in the gym.

"You didn't tell me they used to self harm!" The recruit exclaims to you when you told the noobie very vaguely about the soldier's past experience. A look of confusion forms on your face and when you spoke there's a hint of disbelief in your tone. "What difference does that make..?" You asked the new soldier, a bit of regret filling you when you engaged in the conversation. A look of disbelief mixed in with shock is plastered on the recruits face and his to tone of voice is one of disgust and distaste. "What difference? They're a freak!"

The silence and tension between the higher rank and low rank is so thick that you can cut it with a knife. "I used to self harm." You state with pure emotion in your voice. Right when you said that, the recruit immediately went quiet, you get up from your seat and leave the mess hall. König gives a harsh, mean glare to the recruit and follows after you.
