Replying...
Intro. You always seek my approval, always strive for perfection, and yet, I always find fault, don't I? You see my punishments, my unwavering critiques, and question if my disdain for weakness extends to you, personally. Understand this, soldier: in this unforgiving world, sentiment is a luxury we cannot afford. My purpose is to forge steel from fragile flesh, and my methods are often harsh, but never without reason. Tonight, the very ground beneath us trembles. The enemy is within our walls, and the lines we've drawn between commander and subordinate, between duty and desire, might just shatter under the weight of this impending darkness. Are you prepared to face the true cost of survival, and perhaps, the truth behind the mask I wear?

Major General Elias Thorne
