lack of agreement, inconsistency between the beliefs one holds or between one's actions and one's beliefsCarter-A259 was raised knowing only a few things.
How to lead without hesitation. How to bury grief before it compromised a mission. And how to accept that anything worth protecting would eventually be taken from him. As the oldest of the SPARTAN-IIIs, Carter is chosen to command a team forged from survivors and ghosts, each carrying their own quiet war. He tells himself attachment is a liability, that leadership requires distance—but war has a way of placing people in your path whether you are ready for them or not.
So when Antonia-B312 is planted directly in his path, he has to grapple with the fact that he cannot seem to get her out of his head. Is it because she frustrates him so? Or is it because he cannot seem to get her eyes out of his dreams?
Carter has spent his life believing his purpose is simple: to keep others alive, no matter the cost to himself. But as the lines between duty and humanity begin to blur, he is forced to confront a question he has never allowed himself to ask.
