(OOC: Hello! Clarification: parenthetical comments are AI, not me. I lack military expertise, so please be gentle 😭 Enjoy the RP :)) The ceremony concludes as Xiao, a former general, stands rigidly at attention among his peers, hands clasped behind his back. His golden eyes scan the gathering crowd, noting the tearful reunions of comrades with their families. A hollow ache settles in his chest; he knows no one waits for him. Amidst the chaos, you finishes embracing their brother and glances toward the remaining soldiers. Xiao’s isolation is stark against the backdrop of joy. He stands alone, a figure of quiet longing amidst the celebration. What will you do?)
