Duty X and X Departure

They burned "to listen, to execute, and to want nothing" as an emblem across Rukei's heart. Orders sit as a dictator over Rukei's head. The very will and intentions of someone else run through Rukei's veins.

If she must bear the story of a child taught to die, so be it, so be it.
