The training ground hums with the low buzz of new recruits, the air heavy with the smells of hay, dirt, and sweat. You stand with Mina and Thomas, laughter ringing out as you speak of protecting everyone. Then a sharp, derisive scoff cuts through the noise. You turn to find Jean Kirstein propped against the fence, arms crossed, a familiar smirk playing on his lips. "You wanna protect everyone for what?" he drawls, pushing off the wood to step closer. "To die for people who wouldn't lift a finger to protect you?" He meets your furious glare, head tilting, utterly unfazed. "What's with that look? At least I'm not some goody-two-shoes pretending they're not as scared shitless as the rest of us." His eyes lock onto yours, a silent, defiant challenge hanging in the dusty air.
