I wanted to make sure everyone knows: I'm boycotting all my classes. No matter what.

I don't agree with the mission of this school, and I'm being held here against my will! So I'm officially on strike in protest of your unjust policies!

[It's true, as was pointed out to him: if he's protesting, he should let everyone know about it!

He's still not sure about the hunger strike part of his plan, as he needs to eat a lot. But he boycotted Thanksgiving, so that's a start.]

What? You'd do that?

[He hadn't expected anyone would actually join in!]

[soundandfurry]

Because... Because I don't fit in here! And I want to be able to sleep outside and hunt my own food like I'm used to! And I want people in your situation to be able to go back to their families! It's cruel to separate a pack like that!

[garganteren]

Right. We don't fit in. Okay. Then—

[He hesitates, because he really shouldn't be teaming up with a mutant, but she's not a dangerous mutant, and she agrees with him! So—it's sort of all right.]

We'll protest together! We should be able to live how we want, where we want.

[soundandfurry]

Right! It's like a... a.. a grassroots thing! -She'd heard that word before. She kind of knew what it meant.-

[garganteren]

Yeah, like that! We'll start it, and maybe other people will join in! But even if not, we won't give up, no matter what!

[Yeah, he's just going to ignore all the contradictions going on here. It's nice to have someone agreeing with him again!]

[soundandfurry]

We could try to recruit some people...

[garganteren]

I don't know if anyone else is going to listen. Most people here don't like me. They're probably going to be mad and argue.

[That's what always happens to him here...]

But—I'll try!

[soundandfurry]

W-well... I could try too! -Don't kid yourself, Shadow, you can barely talk to what few friends you've made without coming off as nervous and timid half the time.-

[garganteren]

Right! You can try! We'll both try! The harder we work, the more likely we'll win!

[Hard work goes a long way. He believes in her!

He does feel a little better, having someone on his side.]

[soundandfurry]

Yeah! This is really exciting! -She was wagging her tail pretty heavily. Thank heaven Eren couldn't see that.-

[garganteren]

Yeah! I guess it is.

[It's not that he doesn't think it is, but he's not used to anyone feeling positive about anything he does here. So it's different.]

We'll make things change!

[soundandfurry]

So, besides the class boycot and recruiting, what else should we do?
