Bertholdt nods in agreement. Navigating at night would be a far more useful skill for Paradis' soldiers. It isn't as though this island is completely ignorant about Titans: they know that Titans move in daylight and grow sluggish when the sun sets. So what sense is there in recruits practicing maneuvers when the sun is high overhead?
Then again, the expeditions outside the Walls occur in daylight, too. And Bertholdt, at least, won't be the one to tell them that it would make far more sense to move at night and sleep high in trees during the day.
"Maybe," he agrees, absently worrying his lower lip as he thinks. "Torches mostly use animal fat as a fuel source, don't they? I guess they might be conserving that."
It would make sense, given how scarce meat has become since the Wall fell. Since he and Reiner broke through the Wall.
"I don't know," Bertholdt continues. "I … feel like we might be missing something in this exercise. Like there's a trick to it, or … some obstacle meant to throw us off."
