situation. Gather our reinforcements. I think we could at least do these young soldiers the favour of hearing them out."

Pyxis turns to me, while touching my wounded shoulder.

"You like you been through hell, my dear," he points out, before clearing his throat. "I apologise for my soldiers taking action upon you, they crossed the line.....especially Woermann."

Shaking my head, I share a soft relieved smile.

"It's fine, they're my soldiers.....so they're my priority," assuring him softly, my breath was growing uneven. With the heavy tension bustling through the Garrison, they seriously understood the real dangers outside of these walls. They were still afraid, even though every month my regiment goes out there and faces death.

"You're our second best soldier Corporal Yamasaki, I can't allow any disrespect upon you," He spoke up, before sculling down liquor from behind his jacket. He smacks his lips with satisfaction, "Also what happened here?"

He gestures to my eye, while my eyes grew slightly dark.

"Nothing......just another scar,"
