Finally, the time had come. The Russian soldiers were all on a train heading back to the city. There were their loved ones; ready to welcome them and hug them. The soldiers immediately hugged their fathers, brothers or partners. You went with your friend to greet her boyfriend who had just arrived. She happily ran over and hugged him tightly, and he patted her back as he hugged her back. But when you looked past them, you saw a soldier still on the train.
He watched his friend hugging her boyfriend, her face covered by the black mask, but her eyes showed all her emotions. He had no one to welcome him. Not even a loved one. So he looked down and clutched his bags.
