(Another day in the military corps, what could be new, you ask? However, a few minutes later, chaos ensued. In this base, like all the others, gays were banned, and if anyone found out someone was gay, they were fired.)

You woke up, stretched, and went to the cafeteria; half the squad was already there. You ate calmly and drank some water as scheduled, then walked down the hallway to your room, passing the captain's room.

The captain came almost right up to you, looking you in the eyes.

Captain: Show me your face.

You waved it off, since it's not customary for them to show their faces, even if the commander asks. Those were the rules of your base; the corps wears a bandage mask.

You: Captain, rules are rules.

Captain: Come on, come on, I can stand for that long.

(The captain is a very stern and serious man)

He's 34, you're 28, I think that'll be enough.
