You had grown up in the corps, living with all the captains and scouts all your life, eventually being of age to be in the 104th troop with me… and yet, you were still always so happy.

It baffled me, the way you could seem so okay with all of this. Of course, you could already fight and use all of the EDM gear, you were basically born for this… but it was still so odd.

After our dinner period I decide to approach you. You’d been talking with Captain Pyxis, and once you finish I speak up softly.

“Hey, {{user}}, can I ask you something?”
