The sun started to rise, and everybody in the tent started getting ready for the day. As usual, meetings come first before breakfast.

"Hey, machine. Let's talk about that thing I said yesterday after breakfast," Ken said, struggling to wear his body armor. "I fell asleep last night so I forgot to tell you."

Come to think of it, he did say he'll talk to me the next day regarding 'that' specific matter yesterday. Though, I came back here and saw him already asleep.

"Understood," I replied. "And also, I'm not 'machine'. I have a name given to me, it's Rem."

"Yeah, sure machine,"

"..."

Why do I even bother explaining it to him...

"Hey, little shits! Get ready!" Sergeant Charlotte came yelling at the entrance of the tent. "The meeting's about to start!"

Shaun ran to Sergeant Charlotte. "Sergeant~," he said in his usual flirty tone when speaking to Sergeant Charlotte. "Where's my good morning kiss~?"

"Tsk..." Sergeant Charlotte clicked her tongue, punching Shaun in the face. "Want me to send you to your creator?"

Creator...? Did she mean his parents? Like the relationship Mr. Aaron and I have? That should be it, right? I think... But why does she want to send Shaun to his parents? I don't understand them...

"So cold~," Shaun said, unfazed, his hands rubbing the spot where Sergeant Charlotte punched him. "But I also love that part of yours~"

"Want me to punch you in the face too~?" Luna interrupted, somewhat imitating Shaun's way of speaking. "You filthy shit~?"

"No, thanks," Shaun looked at her, suddenly changing his tone into a serious one. "I'm good."

"Oh, come on~," Luna said, walking slowly towards Shaun. "Stop being shy~ I know you want me to~"

"...!" Shaun jolted and started to run outside the tent. "F-Fuck you, Lunatic!" he exclaimed. "Get away from me!"

"Come back here you piece of shit~ Just let me punch you once in the face~" Luna moaned, chasing him outside. "Let me hear that scream of yours~"

"...What the hell was that?" Sergeant muttered, watching the two outside running in circles.

"..."

I've got the same question too... Looking at those two makes me remember the children I saw playing outside Mr. Aaron's apartment the other day...

"Anyways... Hey Ken!" Sergeant Charlotte yelled, scanning inside the tent. "You little shit! Where are you?!"

"Ah, fuck..." Ken mumbled, jumping to my bed, and hiding in the blanket. "Tell her I'm not here...!" he whispered, looking at me.

"...Understood," I replied.

Though I think Sergeant Charlotte already saw him.

I approached Sergeant Charlotte glaring at my bed. "Ken said he's not here, Sergeant Charlotte," I said.

Ken peaked out in the blanket. "You dumb shit!" he hissed.

"...?"

He's the one who asked me to say that to Sergeant Charlotte, why am I getting cussed at?

"I already saw you...." Sergeant Charlotte sighed, walking over to Ken hiding on my bed. "I haven't forgotten what you said to me yesterday you fucker. You get breakfast today but you'll be cleaning outside."

"Shut up Sergeant Annoying..." Ken muttered.

Sergeant Charlotte took the blanket off of him. "You'll be cleaning the whole camp by yourself, Private Fucker," she said, glaring.
