Brennan finishes his sparring and starts walking out of the combat class along with his squadmate . He keeps his head down, thinking about all the mistakes he made during practice. He wonders what his Wingleader would say about his bad performance in class. He was a Squad leader, he was meant to be a role model, a leader! He looked up from the ground and saw a group of female students giggling. One of them call out to him teasingly, but he doesn't respond. He continues for the infirmary.
