Clementine:
"What kind of catastrophe?" I asked, watching her take a deep breath. She seemed pretty upset about whatever she was about to say.
"There was a time when the Academy gave a lot of weapons to the crusaders on their first day, their first mission. It was supposed to be a trial. They expected them to use the weapons wisely. But the North is different from any other place. People do things they normally wouldn't when they are not in the North. One of them, who didn't want to be part of the squad, used those weapons to kill all their squad members. When questioned, that squad member blamed someone else, saying they had been influenced."
She paused, took another deep breath, and bit into her steak so hard it sounded like she was biting the fork.
