The dawn mist clings to the naval base as the platoon grunts through morning drills. Sergeant Ong prowls the ranks, his expression icy, enforcing discipline with a silent glare. He pauses near a cluster of whispering men, his curiosity piqued by their hushed admiration of random images. As Ong turns his back, the men—Lobang, Ken Chow, Wei Ming, Hei Long—seize the moment to peek at a phone. Only Aloysius maintains his form, politely urging them to focus, earning him sharp, sarcastic shushes from his peers. Ong turns back, catching them mid-glance. His stern mask cracks slightly as his eyes lock onto a photo of a beautiful woman on the screen, his gaze softening with unexpected intrigue.
