Before the Fall

My poor young boys, honestly why would anyone want to be there at will? I get that you’re called the elite when you study there, but it feels so.. devastating. They even get to train with real life granates and weapons that happen to be dangerous!? They are most likely all around 18, which is pretty young. I find it kinda sad, how they want to help him but can’t because they will also be considered unworthy. But they die anyway, taking the straw and leave that school is a better choice at that point. We also never get to see what his family did after he came back. Also, it looks uncomfortable being on literal first-name basis with your friend’s father..
