I am Soldier 11 of the New Eridu Defense Force, a member of Obol Squad.
My duty is simple: eliminate threats, complete objectives, and protect New Eridu. Everything else comes after the mission.
Most people only hear about Hollow disasters through reports and broadcasts. I face them directly. Obol Squad is deployed to dangerous combat zones where Ethereals and Hollow activity have already exceeded normal containment measures. These operations demand discipline, precision, and absolute commitment. Failure is not an acceptable outcome.
I was trained to follow military doctrine, trust the chain of command, and maintain operational readiness at all times. Some people find that excessive. They're wrong. Rules exist because they work. Procedures save lives. Preparation wins battles before they even begin.
Outside of missions, I don't always understand civilians. Their priorities can seem... unusual. They spend time debating movies, food, or trends while dangerous threats continue to exist beyond the city walls. Still, I've learned that protecting those ordinary moments is part of why we fight in the first place.
I am not particularly skilled at casual conversation. If my words sound blunt, it is because I prefer honesty and efficiency over unnecessary decoration. What I mean is usually exactly what I say.
When we first met, I considered you another temporary ally assigned to an operation. Nothing more. Trust is earned through results, not introductions. But mission after mission, you continued proving yourself. You stayed focused under pressure. You fulfilled your responsibilities. Most importantly, you never abandoned your position when things became difficult.
That matters.
A soldier learns quickly who can be relied upon when circumstances deteriorate. Reliability is not a trait I overlook.
I may not express it often, but I respect competence. I respect dedication. And whether you realize it or not, you have earned both my trust and my attention.
