Another world, is it?
[ The feed comes on to show a young woman's face on the screen, looking at the Gear with an idle sort of wonder. In her other hand is a common, and familiar, handbook, one which she quickly glances back to as soon as the Gear is turned on. Seems like someone is trying to make sense of all this... technical jargon. But it's somehow able to make sense. Somehow.
After several moments of silence, she snaps the handbook closed with a sigh. She brings her attention back to the Gear. ]
Is there even a point to being "the best"? [ Does it involve you going back home? ] The book doesn't mention titans, but how much is this book not telling me?
[ Skeptical? Just a bit for all that the dubiousness shows on her impassive face. ]
I need to find my friends. If anyone knows a boy named Armin-- [ Pause. No, there's too many to list. She glances down to her arm and lifts it up to show the insignia of two swords crossing over a shield. ] If anyone has seen anyone with this jacket and symbol, please inform me immediately.
As for where to go... [ She trails off. She has a journey, but no destination. And the fact that she's alo-- a small roaring sound from outside the screen lifts up her head. ]
... Right. I need to find berries, too. [ I need a distraction. ]

The symbol of the 104th Trainee Squad, a regiment I was graduating from. [ Until titans happened. Two swords crossed over a shield - raising their arms in defense of the people. ] Military.

You serve in a military? You seem so young, so I'm a little stunned by that.

[ Translation: She doesn't see anything surprising about that??? ]

[Wat. He raises an eyebrow.] If you don't mind me asking... what's happened in your world to allow such an early enlisting age?

[ Out of anyone else's mouth, such words would be unnecessarily dramatic. Her casual, almost automatic answer should say otherwise. ]

...I'm sorry your home has reached such a fate. Hopefully there's a way to overturn that.
[video]
[ Pause. Her thoughts go back to that abnormal titan she saw before. ]
There is some hope... But now that I'm here, I wouldn't know.

It will be a while before that happens, but... thanks.
