I've been all right.
(Don't worry, you're not bothering me at all.)

Are you okay?
I know the assignment got kind of intense...

[huntergames]

yes im fine thank you
i didnt think the assignment would be that difficult either

[performance]

They could've warned us.

But I guess that would have defeated the purpose...
I don't know.

[huntergames]

it must have been to make us think on our feet
if we ended up on our own without our commanding officers

[performance]

I wonder how likely that is to happen.
I've been saying I don't think they'll use us like that... and I still don't really believe they will
But it has me concerned.

[huntergames]

who knows what they were thinking
theyre like our commanders back home sometimes here

[performance]

I think I know what you mean.
Like we were supposed to learn a lesson, but we can't be completely sure what the real lesson is.

[huntergames]

do you know if we passed it?

[performance]

I wish I knew.
I'm used to getting feedback on stuff like that, good or bad.
Not hearing anything is just eerie.

[huntergames]

maybe we did fail it

[performance]

What makes you say that?

[huntergames]

perhaps we were supposed to stop the soldiers for good
or learn some kind of important secret

[performance]

Maybe you're right.
But they said it was a survival mission. We completed that objective, at least.

[huntergames]

thats true
i am sorry if this conversation is weird

[performance]

I don't mind!
Honestly, I haven't actually talked to anyone else about it.

This is better than thinking about it alone.

[huntergames]

i havent either
do you think the others are mad? about some of us not helping
with the prisoners i mean

[performance]

I don't think so, Sasha.
It was unfair to expect anyone to do that.

[huntergames]

its war
maybe well have to do that someday in real life

[performance]

I don't like hurting people.
I'm good at it. And I want to keep people safe.

But I don't want to have to go that far.

[huntergames]

i dont either
they may be our enemies but they are still human beings

[performance]

There should always be another way. Even for the worst people.
That's what I was taught.
But... maybe I'm not good enough yet.

[huntergames]

what? youre a superhero arent you?
you must have saved so many people more than any of us
maybe you know more than the rest of us too

[performance]

And you're a soldier, right?
You've saved people too...
And you were so good. You stopped people but you didn't kill anyone.

But I've never been in a situation like that before.
I still have a lot to learn.

[huntergames]

i dont think i could ever do that here
where i am from our enemies are these monsters called titans
weve never had to fight other humans before

[performance]

And stopping criminals, even the really bad ones, isn't like being in a war zone.
I thought I knew that but
It's different. Knowing something and actually being faced with it.
