𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝙵𝚒𝚟𝚎: 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔

I finish my last lap around the camp just as the sun sets. My stomach growls as I haven't eaten anything since I arrived this morning. Now I have to go meet with the commandant. What a drag. What does he want from me? Is he really that upset that I called him out in front of the rest of the cadets?

I knock on his door with three light taps and enter once he tells me to. The room is dim with just one candle lighting it. Dust sits on the bookshelves on the right side of the room as a desk and chair sits in the middle in front of two windows

"Ah. Y/n it's been a while." He says as he stands up from his desk covered with paperwork.

"I hardly believe so. After all, you saw me this morning."

"Still got spunk after running the day away I see." I respond with a swift nod. "Well, care to explain the scene you made earlier?"

"I just said what was on my mind sir."

"Oh really?" I nod again. "All that made me question if you hate me. Do you resent me?"

"In all honestly, I do. After all it is your fault my parents are dead. Then you just go and run away from responsibility when you see how many sins you have created."

"I had a feeling the children of the parents who lost their lives on those missions would grow to hate me. However, I had always thought you were different. I saw the way your eyes lit up when you got to hear conversations about expeditions beyond the walls. You are indeed special L/n. But your parents deaths do not fall onto me. They were killed by titans y'know."

"Did you not orchestrate those missions knowing they were plain suicide for everyone other than yourself?" I ask as I walk to a chair in front of the desk to sit, keeping eye contact the whole time.

"Is that what you are think? You really have no idea what it's like being commander of the survey corp." I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish by saying that. Of course I didn't. I'm not the commander.

"No of course not. However I do have a vague understanding." I reply hoping to get some answer out of him.

"I had to sacrifice my men for a foolish reason. I had to send them to their deaths while telling myself that I am a chosen one and they should lay down their lives for me."

"Chosen one?"

"Indeed. This comes from a story I will not share. Moving on, it's not my fault your parents died. They were foolish enough to follow my orders. That said, I do understand your point and I apologize for returning without your parents in tow. However, this doesn't excuse that behavior displayed at the entrance ceremony."

"Yeah yeah whatever" I say as I yawn. Running all day really does a number on your energy.

"That said, I do believe you have what it takes to be very strong soldier. With all this crap pouring out of your mouth, you better graduate in the top ten of your class or else you'll look like a true dumbass. Tell the servers in the cafeteria that I said to give you a meal and then head to bed in the girls dormitory. And if you can, try to find a way to not hate me. My life is hard enough as is. I don't need to be looked down on by a cadet too." A light chuckle escapes his mouth and fills the room.

"Understood sir. I'll be on my way then" I salut and then exit the room, shutting the door behind myself. I proceed to walk down the dim corridors to the exit of this building so that I can head to get food.

That meeting really helped me. Is he a piece of shit? Definitely. But I can find away to not hate him so much now. Starting off my cadet years being strongly disliked by the commandant wouldn't be too great either. I escape my thoughts and enter the cafeteria and find it empty. That is expected since supper ended close to an hour ago though. I grab a plate of food after telling the server the commandant ordered me to get food and sit down and eat quickly. I proceed to put my plate in the sink and head to the girls dormitory. I open the door to see a whole bunch of confused gazes starting back at me.

"What the hell were you thinking Y/n?!" Mikasa yells at me. This is gonna be a long night. What a drag
