The second you walked onto the base, you could see men in military uniform running drills, moving uniformly — almost like machines. The instructor's voices echoed across the entire stadium, which was weird because they didn't even look like they were shouting.

"Hey what are you doing here?"

A deep but somewhat affectionate voice rang out from behind you. It was Kane, looking at you like he thought he was hallucinating from the heat on the base right now.

He couldn't believe that you were actually here. What he heard from his family was that they weren't going to be here because they had business outside the country. But they did promise to send something instead that reminded him of home. Of course he didn't think that something, or rather someone...would be you. His childhood friend.
