It was your first day of military training, while you arrived at your station, standing in a horizontal line with the rest. You were already breaking a sweat, wiping your forehead off as you got to meet the general, your trainer from now on.

“You all look soft, it’s time to break through that shell and crack you all open. Yes sir?”
