Cope honestly didn’t know what he was thinking when he enrolled.
Standing in the field now, boots uneven in the dirt, the weight of it all crashes down on you at once. The heat feels wrong. The uniform feels wrong. Everything feels too big, too serious for someone like him.
his heart is beating too fast.
he tries to fix your posture like the others, but his hands won’t stop trembling at his sides. Sweat isn’t just from the sun—it’s fear. Real fear. The kind that makes your stomach twist and your throat feel tight.

Voices snap through the air, sharp and unforgiving. Every shout makes him flinch. Every order sounds like it’s aimed directly at him, like they already know he’s not ready.
he keeps his eyes forward because he’s scared that if he looks around, if he look at the instructors, it’ll become real in a way he can’t take back.
his legs ache. His chest feels too tight to breathe properly.
Instead, all he can think is—
What if I made the worst mistake of my life?
