Summary
“Don’t you see, little mouse?” Her voice dripped from her lips like golden honey. “Your leader has done nothing but deceive, time and time again. She’s proven to be unfit as your Commander and as your companion.”
Her thumb wiped the tears from Maddie’s cheek. She pressed it slightly, as if testing the moldability of her skin, before pulling away. Maddie struggled not to follow.
“War is an ugly thing. I’ve seen the worst mankind has to offer when given the chance to kill, and I’ve seen how desperate mankind becomes when fighting to live.”
She looked down at the younger officer. “Do you want to live, Officer Nolen?”
Bile rose in her throat. She remembered her doll, its face bloated with gore. She remembered the Chemtank’s hold on her leg. She remembered her father.

Blake pushed her legs faster, and her peripheral vision blurred. Her only focus was making it away from the undead, making it to Vale with her friends, making it unscathed. She tunnel-visioned, not even acknowledging the ache in her thighs anymore.
The blur of her mind distracted her entirely, rendering her unprepared when a flash of sickly gray pounced from her right.
The cat faunus shrieked as a walker lunged at her, its teeth bared like a wild animal. It tackled her to the ground, knocking her pistol from her hand.
Her teammates shouted her name, or something akin to it. She couldn't tell. Ringing buried itself deep in her ears as her attention honed in on one singular thing:
The walker teeth lodged in her hip.
