[center][h1]Sano Takeshi[/h1] [@SheriffLlama] The silence that overtook the room was becoming uncomfortable. He listened to Connor reveal some self-distressing information, paying attention to the emotion that came with his tone of voice. He was finding it difficult to relate, as his story did not hold the same incidents of blood. His family's whereabouts were unknown to him, preventing him from mourning or rejoicing. Instead, he held himself floundering in an ocean of possibilities. Were the eaten? Were they crushed under debris? Were they alive?? Suddenly, Connor displayed admiration for Sano's ability to lead and hard work ethics. The cadet bit his lower lip as he turned up to respond, his feeling of discomfort visible on his face. "I'm sorry about your family, but please......never say that again. The reason your family is dead is because mine failed." Sounds outside the barracks went silent. The conversation was becoming heated between the two men, an outcome Connor probably did not expect. "Like I said before, my family and I were in charge of building the wall. My brother and I helped our father make the cement to patch up any holes and cracks, but never got to see him work. It was all worthless. Those Titans broke in without difficulty. They then killed the family of EVERYONE OUT THERE!" he said, pointing out in the direction of the mess hall. "I don't know if my family is dead. They aren't here to make up for their failure, but I am. I can't bring people back to life, but I can defeat the Titans that we could not stop. I'm going to lead everyone I've failed to victory. I may lose my life, but I'll give it for theirs, for yours and for humanity. I'm only afraid it may still not be enough..." With the truth revealed, Sano laid back on the lower bunk closer to the door. He placed both his hands on his chest and intertwined his fingers. "Please do not repeat this to the others. I will tell them on my own time."[/center]
