Been reminiscing about Second Draft oct with

@yeyepiz A’s and Thomas dynamic way back in the day Finally hit me why Thomas was so chill with A. If anyone remember a certain scene I drew back in the day it makes sense. So read to find out what scene it was

Wrote a short mini story if anyone is interested!

During the war they had low number of recruits, so they asked for volunteers. There was one young soldier that looked like 'A'. As a Sergent, Thomas' trained the new soldiers, so he formed a bond with his Unit.

A year later…documents were stolen, everyone was on edge to see who the traitor was. It was the young 'A' soldier…Thomas was devastated and hesitated to go after him. His superior told him that if he crossed the border, we lost the war. Thomas' unit was ready to hunt the traitor, but he ordered them to stand down. 'A' was his responsibility so Thomas must capture him alone.

Thomas had him on sight trying to escape and hide from Thomas in the depths of the snow. Thomas yells out, asking for the boy to surrender himself. He wishes not to hurt the young soldier.

In a shift motion, the boy grabbed Thomas' sword and sliced his side. Before he has a chance to flee, Thomas instinctively kicks the boy. Bucking him several meters away. ( A kick from Thomas was equal of being kicked by a horse. ) Realizing the boy was the first to penetrate Thomas’ shell. He couldn’t help staring at his wound and looked up to see the boy desperately scrambling away. Thomas couldn’t help but feel pity for him. Forced to listen to orders no matter the task at hand. In one last effort the boy shot at Thomas and said he can't go back to his country without the documents.

Thomas in a rage had enough, before the boy could make another move Thomas raised his pincers and sliced the young soldier.

White snow hues shifted to red as Thomas instantly regretted what he did but did he? Deep down he knew he’ll be punished for not following orders especially as a Hoodoo the stakes are higher. This was an order so it must be just…. right? “For the greater good” is what Thomas’ commander boldly say…He was just a boy force to fight in this forsaken war. He barely lived his life, and I took that away from him. They won’t see me as a killer but a hero for getting these damned papers back to base. Thomas, exhausted and wounded, grabbed the boy’s dog tag and papers.

He better hurry back to base before a recuse party comes for me. Staggering side to side, he was on the verge of collapsing. Only pain and misery paved our path…this is what it means to be a soldier.

I only wish to say "Sorry" to the young soldier…

(Here's that one panel scene I mentioned from the beginning from my Spectator Entry before the 3rd round )

The text is small but it says this Nurse 1: The patient is unstable! Hurry and give him the sedatives Nurse 2: Please relax, Mr. Rupert. Your wounds will be fixed shortly. You are a hero for hunting down that traitor. Surely our country would be in shambles if he passed the border.

Thomas: Hjälte ( Hero in swedish) Nurses: “You’re a hero, Mr. Rupert

Seeing A for the first time didn't hit Thomas at first. Too many bad memories so he suppressed it. Realizing who A was he would be super apologetic and maybe helped him clear his guilty conscience. Either way, he wants to protect the young boy this time around.....

Atlas we both didn't make it to round 5. Would be great to see human Thomas bawling his eyes out for the first time to just say sorry to A.
