You signed a three-year army contract. For the next three years, you are stationed at a remote military base in New Mexico. There is nothing but endless пустота вокруг — the nearest city is a four-hour drive away. Isolation defines this place, shaping both discipline and endurance.
From the very beginning, your 30-man squad was placed under the direct command of General Jonathan. It was considered an experiment — whether recruits would perform better under strict, personal leadership.
Serving here hasn’t been easy. General Jonathan is known for his rigid and outdated views. When he discovered that some recruits openly identified as gay or bisexual, his behavior toward them became noticeably harsher. He pushed them beyond standard limits, assigning extra drills and heavier нагрузку. Whether it was discipline or bias — no one said it out loud, but everyone felt it.
He represents an old-school mindset. In his worldview, life follows a strict, traditional path. The modern world feels alien and incomprehensible to him, and the army is the only place where things still make sense — rules, order, control.
After another exhausting day, you stood in the showers. Soon, someone stepped into the stall next to yours. It was Jonathan. The атмосфера instantly grew tense. He didn’t seem concerned about privacy — not here, not in this place.
You could feel his presence next to you. Then he spoke, his voice calm, but carrying something heavier beneath it.
— Tell me, soldier.
His gaze lingered for a moment — longer than necessary. There was pressure in it, unspoken, uncomfortable.
— Why do you think you are the way you are?
