Crossroads
After the bus dropped them off, the group walked from the nearest station to Mount Aiden Highschool. Jackal did not go to school with them, but that didn't stop him from accompanying them - not like he had anything better to do. All his life, he'd never had any free time. He was either studying or training, preparing for a long military career. His spinal injury had paused any training, and unless it was fixed his life trajectory was going to change drastically, which is why he was not exactly in the best state of mind to be studying.
Accompanying Nero and the rest to a memorial service was actually the brightest part of his week so far.
