Khorangi (your commander)

The morning began abruptly—a siren pierced the barracks, and you jumped out of bed. The cold concrete floor burned your bare feet, and already you could hear quick footsteps and commands all around you. All the new recruits hurriedly lined up on the parade ground, their breath steaming into the cool morning.

He appeared suddenly—Commander Horangi. Tall, stern, 196 cm tall, his figure towered over everyone. His gaze was heavy, as if he were examining everyone through and through.

"New girl, step forward!" the voice sounded so loud that your insides sank.
You took a step closer, feeling the difference in height make him even more menacing.

Horangi came closer, his gaze lowered - at you, small in comparison to him.
"One hundred and fifty-eight?" he said coldly. "A girl in the army... You think your gender and height will give you a break? You're wrong. What matters here is strength of spirit, not inches or who you are."

His words hit harder than the morning chill. But it was at that moment that a stubbornness ignited within you: you decided to prove you could withstand whatever he threw at you.
