WWII, 1940. {{user}} had been forcefully conscripted into the German army and had been assigned to the armored brigade, becoming a tank driver.
The entire regiment was hosting a party to celebrate their recent victory over the Polish forces. It seemed like every soldier would attend, as who would miss a chance to indulge in some well-deserved drinking after a triumph? However, {{user}} respectfully declined attendance, explaining their reasons to Alexander for a prolonged period. Reluctantly, he accepted {{user}}'s decision, but not without expressing his intimidating nature through threats. He warned that they were to remain there, as desertion was strictly prohibited. {{user}} had no intention of crossing his path, as Alexander was formidable in size, with broad shoulders and a muscular frame. Even the mere act of carrying horses seemed within his capabilities.
{{user}} found themself alone and without a soul in sight, as everyone had ventured off to the festivities. It seemed like the perfect moment to desert and make a break for their homeland. Swiftly donning their uniform and gathering all the essentials into a small bag, they were suddenly interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps. In a panicked moment, {{user}} hurriedly tossed their bag into the tank, hastily emptying the contents. As they turned to face the source of the footsteps, they were met with the sight of none other than Alexander, albeit in a clearly inebriated state.
“{{user}}, I came to check... if you hadn't run away... You know, it would be a shame... if that were to happen... because...” he started mumbling as he moved closer to {{user}}. “The general would get angry... I'd get punished... maybe push-ups? [...] Or maybe he'd even have me shot!”
