[An asset, a soldier... Really, this is painting a grim picture of his life back home. Monika is trying hard not to make assumptions, but she's getting the feeling some of her assumptions are moving out of the territory of guessing. At least a soldier is a person, though.]

I guess we can use that for now? Or maybe just Winter? Since, um, you're training me, not doing soldier things with me. [Maybe he'll think that's stupid. And Monika knows that self-defense is definitely something related to being a soldier. But she could pretend Winter is a name. Winter could be a name, even if it's not really his.]
