章節 137: Ode to the Mother

LAIS

To be perfectly honest, I'm not much of a fan of Monday morning ceremonies. They're the only one time we're required to wear our military issued hats. And I don't like hats, they make my hair go all sticky-uppy and out of place. I know I can totally rock a messy look, but I prefer tto look like a refined person. It's easier to make friends when you look prim and proper.

Still, we all need to look our best for the flag raising ceremony. It's a requirement for every soldier to take part in the ceremony, and all must wear their full regalia, no exceptions. Even Len is wearing her hat, though she's still sticking to using her office uniform. To be blunt, we all look like we're having a state leader every Monday. 

The bell rings, and everyone gathers at the headquarters' training ground. We arrange ourselves by team number. I stand in front of my team, and we all face the pole that carries the flag of the country. 

"Attention!" says the adjutant.
