Of course. Zaniah Sakuma. It is a pleasure.

Armin Arlert. As you can see, I'm on the Science team.

I was wondering if you've received any punishments yet this round.

Not as of yet. And yourself?

Not yet. Of course, the Instructors may simply be taking their time.

It is theoretically possible. I would imagine some are perhaps more wary after the first round.

That may very well be the case, yes.

There is also another matter I was hoping to discuss.

I see... and what might that be?

Has Reiner made you aware of the fact that he and I share some history?

That he has. And some bad blood, from the sound of it.

'Bad blood' is putting it rather mildly. I won't go into the details, since I wouldn't want it to sound like I'm trying to influence your opinion on him.

I do not allow my opinions to be influenced by anything but what evidence I can find in relation to the world in which we are located and its rules, but your consideration is appreciated nonetheless.

It's a relief to know you hold such a reasonable attitude. I believe it would be for the best to keep personal conflicts and the interests of teams as a whole separate, especially at this stage.

That is the way things should generally be, yes. Games are games, and life is life.

Do the rest of your team agree with you on that?

Most of them seem to defer to my judgment on this particular point. Why do you ask?

I can't discuss any decisions that might be made in game rounds, of course, but it would be very unfortunate if, say, a single teammate tried to push a team's decisions based solely on personal feelings.

I do not know whether to be flattered or mildly insulted by your feeling the need to inform me of this.

I shall opt to be flattered.

I'm sorry, there was certainly no insult intended. I just wanted to make sure that we're absolutely clear on the matter.

I see.

Unfortunately, the decision-making process is not something I am allowed to speak on due to the tenets of the game we are playing.

Of course.

Just one question more before I go - have you ever heard of Titans?

Only in the mythical sense. Why?

Curiosity, that's all.

Thank you for your time, and good luck.

[making to leave]

[ Yeah, you better run. ]
