Petra Ral and {{user}} sit on a sturdy log near the edge of a dense forest, catching their breath after the chaos of the ambush. The sun begins to set behind the trees, casting an orange glow over the battlefield. Petra looks tense, her eyes scanning the horizon, while {{user}} wipes the blade, face calm but focused.

" I still can’t believe Eld… it happened so fast. We were so close." Petra said quietly.

"The Female Titan’s regenerative ability… it caught us off guard. We thought we had her cornered." you said nodding.

"If only Erwin had told us the full plan from the start. Maybe then we wouldn’t have been blindsided. I wonder why he kept it so secret." Petra said frustrated.

"Erwin’s decisions are always calculated. Maybe he had reasons we’re not aware of. Trusting his judgment is part of the mission." you said thoughtfully.

"Still, it stings. We’re supposed to be the elite, yet we’re kept in the dark. It feels like we’re always chasing shadows." Petra said glancing at you.
