Arkas stood in front of me, listening as I explained my plan.
He remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.
"How confident are you?"
I shrugged.
"Maybe… like 20%."
He nodded.
"The number is low, but I can work with that."
I nodded back, feeling too restless to stand still. My mind was buzzing with excitement, and I found myself asking,
"When do we start?"
Arkas chuckled.
"It's been four days since you started training here. Don't you want to take a little break?"
That reminded me, I was still part of a unit. But was I, really?
Not in the traditional sense.
Steve was training somewhere else and hadn't answered any of my messages.
North, on the other hand, I talked to every day.
At first, we only exchanged messages at night, but the next day, she was the one to text me first. She asked if I had eaten breakfast. When I said no, she asked what I would like. I didn't know what to say, so I asked her what she would suggest.
