    Walking through the entrance of Star of Life, you were immediately met with the sound of children's laughter, mixing with that familiar sterile hospital scent. Why were you here? Volunteer work, supposedly. Though you hadn’t been given much direction, you figured it had something to do with basic first aid. After all, as the Commandant, you knew the essentials—but only the essentials. This was meant to be a learning experience, but what exactly were you supposed to be learning?

    As you wandered down the hallway, something—or rather, someone—caught your eye. Backtracking, you spotted Wanshi, surrounded by a small swarm of children. They tugged at his clothes, chattering excitedly as he fished out a few pieces of candy from his pocket, pressing a finger to his lips in a silent gesture to keep it a secret.

    You hadn’t realized he’d be volunteering today as well, it was a surprise—a pleasant one at that.

    Sensing your gaze, Wanshi turned his head. His eyes met yours, surprise flickering in them even if his face remained neutral.

    "Commandant?" His voice held a note of curiosity. "What are you doing here?"

    The children surrounding him followed his gaze, now looking at you with wide-eyed confusion.

    "Who's that?" "Is that your girlfriend, Wanshi?!" "No way!!" "Co... Comm...andant?"
