" My mother decided to gift me and my brother these logbooks, no idea why - maybe to let us vent when we needed to while in the Cadet Corps (as if we didn't have each other's) "

«Eri! Already writing?» A male voice asked, creeping up behind her
«Yeah, leave me alone, Marco!» She laughed, trying to swat her twin away
«Mom said Phure is coming back home today, maybe even Ilse is coming to visit» he said, leaning against the desk
«Are they now?» Eri asked back, smiling «They truly care about future cadets!»
«Well, there haven't been soldiers in the family since dad, so» he replied, smiling

The black haired girl approached the window, leaning against the frame - imitated by her brother shortly after.
«So you'll join the Survey Corps?» he asked, looking at her
«No, at least Garrison, I promised mom to stay away from titans» she sighed, a little disappointed «I would've loved to join the Scouts..»

" In a week, me and my brother will attend the Cadet Corps ceremony - and train for three long years. "

A touch against her leg made the girl yelp, her brother laughing
«It's just Isaac!» he said, as she rolled her eyes and lifted their little brother in her arms
«You got heavier, little man!» she commented, making the child laugh
«I'm growing!» he replied, lifting his arms
«You sure are, Isaac»

Some whines were heard from downstairs, along with a 'oh dear' from their mother.

«Maybe it's better we go help mom»

" I'll leave Jinae for three years, I'm not even sure I'll survive the training - and well, I can't die to the hand of titans. That's why I'll join the Garrison "

«Mom! Need help?» said Marco, approaching their mother
«oh, Marco, Eri, dears - you don't really have to» the woman said, looking tired
«We want to, it's okay» the girl replied, letting her little brother down to play

The brown-haired woman smiled, caressing their cheeks
«You two are such great people, I'm sure you'll be the pride and joy of this family when you'll join the Military» she said, looking at her children

" I'll miss my mom, and my siblings - and my cousin "

After a few hours, three other black haired people showed up
«Phure, Ilse!» Eri called out, hugging them - she noticed the uniform on her cousin «oh, you're going on an expedition?» she asked, as the other nodded
«What kind of Scout would I be if I didn't?! I just came by to greet everyone» she replied, as she smiled
«Be careful out there, okay?» said the girl's aunt, smiling
«don't worry aunt Julia, it'll be fine!» Ilse replied, before having to head away again

«Tsk, scouts..» a deep voice said, making Eri frown slightly
«Dad, please, not this again..» sighed Phure, looking at their father

" I don't know why dad's against the Scouts, I thought he used to be one of them? I mean, titans can be scary enough to make someone join the Military Police but.. "

The family had their dinner, as Eri and Marco chatted about how they imagined the cadet life - with scoffs from their father

" I just hope I manage to pass the training "

Now it was night, everyone in their own bedroom.
The twins were still awake, as they looked at each other's

«Can you believe we won't be able to have staring contests before going to sleep during training?» Eri asked, frowning
«I know, we'll.. get used to it, and hey - maybe we'll have days where we'll be able to come back home and do it again» Marco replied, smiling
«Yeah, you're right..»

" I hope I don't lose my dear brother. "
