It had taken Tanner a second to remember, but the memory was vivid in his head. There was a woman, or at least Tanner thought the person was a woman, that would burst into the bookstore, grab a book and throw down her payment on the counter before disappearing out the door in a flash. [color=#FFD967]"I remember you, Jade. I believe you still owe my family a few cents because you were always in a rush to count the correct amount, but I don't think it matters much anymore."[/color] Tanner smiled back at Jade as he spoke. He was glad that Jade was friendly with him, and she had cared enough about Tanner to state her happiness that he had survived that fateful day two years ago.

By then, Jade turned her attention elsewhere. Sano had said something that she hadn't agreed with, and Jade wanted the boy to know. Tanner was unsure if he should get involved in their argument, so he turned his attention back to the soup on his tray. It was slowly growing colder, and Tanner began to eat the soup faster when he figured it out with the first scoop of the flavored water and vegetables. Tanner was eating quietly once more, but the peaceful silence was broken by a tall cadet giving a monologue as he introduced himself to the group. Jade had asked Tanner if he knew Grant from somewhere, and he nodded in response. [color=#FFD967]"I think so. I haven't personally met him, but I think he has an uncle in the Survey Corps."[/color] Tanner replied, his eyes glancing at Grant.

[color=#FFD967]"Grant, don't you have an uncle by the name of Mateo in the Survey Corps? I remember a scout mentioning your name before."[/color] Tanner asked, feeling somewhat strange as he grew more outspoken as the day went on. While he waited for a response from the cadet, Tanner noticed Gabriel's looming shadow over the table. The boy appeared to have mentally shutdown, as if Gabriel was lost and had no idea where he was. [color=#FFD967]"Earth to Gabriel..."[/color] Tanner stated, waving his hand in front of Gabriel as he patted the table, and beckoned him to sit down with the rest of the cadets.
