Grimm:  The soldiers, blinded by dust and now in a panic, started shoving one another in the scramble to retreat. Grimm found himself in danger of being trampled.

Tholter:  “Grimm!” Tholter grabbed his arm, pulling him to safety in the nick of time.

Tholter:  But the chaos was worsening by the moment. The mood of victory was shattered.

Soldier:  “A—a trap?! How can we be surrounded? When did that happen? !”
human
Soldier:  “I can’t see anything! Damn it! Squad Leader! What do we do? !”
gpt
Grimm:  Out of the cacophony, Grimm’s ears picked up the most dangerous words, and his teeth chattered as his terror built.

Tholter:  Tholter looked grim, too, as they turned to their leader for their next instructions.

Squad Leader:  “R-retreat! We fall back, and link up with the other units…!” The terrified squad leader answered Tholter’s shout with a tremulous cry.

Wilhelm:  “No!” Wilhelm bellowed. “Don’t! Advance!”

Wilhelm:  “—? !” Wilhelm grit his teeth and snarled at the squad leader, as well as all his subordinates attempting to withdraw. He raised his blood-soaked sword and pointed it at what had been the vanguard a moment before.

Wilhelm:  “Retreating is exactly what the enemy wants us to do! Why can’t you see that?! Our only hope is to move forward!”
gpt
Soldier:  “Are you insane?! If all you want is to kill the enemy, then shut up and leave us out of it!”
human
Wilhelm:  “The enemy laid a trap for us using magic circles! They only pretended to fall back so they could draw out and destroy our army! They would obviously count on a fear-crazed, ambushed enemy making a retreat!”
gpt
Grimm:  The squad leader shut his mouth, not expecting such a thoughtful response.

Wilhelm:  “Go forward!” Wilhelm pressed closer to the mute commander, his bloodied face twisted as a demon’s. “The only way out is through! Fall back, and you’ll be surrounded and die! We have to break through before the net gets any tighter—it’s our only hope!” he howled.

Squad Leader:  “Th-that’s impossible! Retreat! There’s no help ahead! Marching into the enemy territory alone is suicide!” But the squad leader lurched and exclaimed.

Wilhelm:  Wilhelm bit his lip fiercely, and with blood pouring from the edge of his mouth, he began striding away. He readied the sword in his hand, turning his back to the squad leader.

Soldier:  “Stop, Wilhelm! You can’t just—!”
human
Wilhelm:  “If you want to run, then run. Run and run, and when you’re finished with that, just die. As for me, I’m going to fight. I’ll fight and fight, and when I’m done, I’m going to live. You insufferable cowards.” But Wilhelm wasn’t listening.
gpt
Grimm:  This tirade left everyone in the unit speechless. Grimm alone felt differently from the others, because he was the only one not hearing it for the first time.
human
Grimm:  “Wilhelm!” The boy didn’t stop at the sound of his name but dived forward. He was going to attack the enemy alone, in defiance of the squad leader’s orders—an indefensible choice, surely.
