"Captain...are you...sure about this?"
"Of course."
"But why...?"
"One day, you'll understand."
"Understand what, captain...?"
"You'll understand once you see it."
"But, captain-"
"I'm no longer the captain, &%$#*."
"..."
"You are."
"Cap...I...d-don't..."
"Try your best to lead the new faces, would you?"
"..."
"We wouldn't want you to repeat the mistake I did in the past now, would you?"
"No, I..." I look down, contemplating before I raise my head and look at the former captain of the Elite Special Operatives squad. "I understand. I'll see you next time."
He gave me a final smile, before disappearing into the light. "I hope so, *%#$^."
