6. Death
It had been a constant and something he lived everyday since the donning of the uniform. He had been so proud to have been awarded it, hailed by his parents, town, and the military as a genius and whisked under more than a few wings as names warred over who would get the prodigy. But with these most disturbing and recent events, it was only a suffocating weight and the guillotine of all that he had once held so very dear. He didn't think there was a word in any of the languages he knew to accurately capture what he was feeling.
He was a soldier but an alchr him; one wrong move, one questionable phrase, and a staff member would pay in full for his folly.
Takes place in/after chapter 52. The Ishbal comment is in reference to Blue Side 2.
