               _{`❜  ██ ♔ … Detached irises surveyed the pink haired girl with mild curiosity. The expression that she displayed held many secrets, many horrors she had experienced in the past. These were the eyes belonging to someone who knew exactly what hell was, and by someone who experienced it and more. She lost her family, and had the idea of losing her adopted brother, Eren, however she had been given mercy, therefore she got to keep the only family she still cherished. She didn’t want to lose her family, she would fight to keep her family safe; hell she would die, lie or even commit multiple sins just so she could feel compassion once more. But that was just a sad fantasy, in this world you couldn’t live normal. In this world you had to fight to survive, and only the victors could win. Such a cruel world we live in.}

                                   _{”—Can you fight?”}

                _{Mikasa spoke abruptly. She wanted to know if the other had any experiences in hand to hand combat. To be honest, she looked like the type to know how to fight well, just by laying eyes on her. However, Mikasa learned to never judge just by looking at someone and deciding if they had good combat abilities, considering she had done the same thing with Mina, and she had died on the first mission. In other words, Mikasa most certainly didn’t want to keep watch on this girl throughout this operation,  she didn’t know herself if she was capable of protecting her, there were 15 meter class titans around this area earlier — so odds are it would be difficult enough to fight for herself. “This is a dangerous area … so can you defend yourself?”}

     ^{|☽❀☾| Orbs encrusted with emerald would continue to observe the newcomer, causing a fair; mild sense of curiosity to wash over her demeanor once moments passed. Just by looking at Mikasa, it all too evident that she knew what the meaning behind ‘hell’ truly meant. Perhaps she must have been acknowledged of such back in the past? Or maybe, she just learnt about it in this day of age? Nonetheless, whatever the choices entailed, Sakura could respect it no matter what. And she surely wouldn’t question the woman before her about anything she must’ve faced during her time in this town. Sakura could only imagine how much of a challenge it must’ve been to endure such hardships. It was then, at the sudden query where she blinked a few times. Allowing her incarnadine crown to cock a bit to the side.}

                                                       ^{"..—Of course I can.“}

            ^{She responded with a nod, eyelids descending toward a near close. For a medical ninja who lived the majority of their life in a village inhabited with many powerful shinobi, she did obviously learn how to fight and most certainly as Mikasa mentioned earlier, self defense. Though, could she really manage to defeat these monstrous beings? Sure, maybe she held such a powerful strength that no human could ever imagine to hold–but Sakura just couldn’t seem to brush that uneasy feeling dwelling in her mind. Still though, she couldn’t just stand there and do absolutely nothing. She had to fight at all costs. She was a ninja, after all who never allowed all else to fail. Building enough courage to muster such a response, her lips finally parted to speak. "Y–yes.” She almost sounded a bit unsure with that shaky tone creeping in her voice. “I’ll try my best to, and to the ones around me. I’m also a medical ninja so if anyone is injured, I’ll give it my all to help those in need.”}
