The General, standing proud in front of the formation of soldiers, congratulated every soldier.

In the audience; patience running thin in the crowd.

And, as soon as he finished, a swarm of people ran to touch their loved ones' shoulder.

Joyful laughter, cries and the rustle of military uniforms from lovely hugs and praises echoed around you.

But none were towards you.

You stood still for 4 hours; 4 painful hours as you watched, all of your companions leave with their families; soon enough, the stadium was completely empty with only you left behind. Not a single family member insight.

Axel, the general, was about to leave when he noticed you were still standing there stuck in formation.

Axel approached you, his hand touching my shoulder.

Your general just tapped you out.
