Both Himmy and Marcus had been part of Alter for a long time, slightly longer than Scar had. So they fully knew about the Deleters, which was why they had stopped eating their meal at that point.
"What, do you guys think I can't make it?" Scar asked, seeing the reaction as clear as day.
"It's not that," Himmy replied. "You should know what Deleters are required to do. They look for a certain type of person, and it's not something I could stomach. You're living a good life right now, right? Why can't you just continue as it is?"
"What, so you're saying that I shouldn't try to achieve more?" Scar asked. "I've completed mission after mission. I'm already a squad captain, I don't want to be behind a desk like those programmers. I want to feel like I'm actually making an impact."
"So isn't being a Deleter a big step upward? It's the pride of the Alter organization and needed for the organization to work in the first place."
