Was it purchased together, or was it a gift from Flossie Wright?
Jocelyn Carrington, not bothering with courtesy, put the knife away and showed a faint smile on her face.
At the same time—
Mariana Buck, who had just closed her locker after getting her clothes, unconsciously glanced over, saw the military knife in Jocelyn Carrington’s hands, and sneered.
Quite generous, indeed.
"Take care, I won’t see you out."
After closing her own locker, Flossie Wright didn’t respond to Jocelyn Carrington’s cheerfulness, waved her hand, and walked over to her bed.
The corner of Jocelyn Carrington’s mouth twitched slightly.
Flossie Wright picked up two plastic bags, tossed one to Becca Reyes, then took out a Steamed Bun from the other bag, popped it in her mouth, and started taking off her coat.
"Going to sleep already?"
Carrying the plastic bag, Becca Reyes walked over.
Flossie Wright lazily responded.
She was different from Becca Reyes; she hadn’t slept a single minute last night.
Now, naturally, she was very tired.
"Just one Steamed Bun?"
Looking at her, Becca Reyes asked with some uncertainty.
"The other one I’ll eat when I wake up," said Flossie Wright, speaking somewhat unclearly with the Steamed Bun in her mouth, "or else, you could bring something over from the cooking class tonight."
Becca Reyes frowned speechlessly.
Really treating the cooking class like her own home.
But, since the platoon leader also allowed it, Becca Reyes didn’t feel any psychological pressure.
"I’m leaving, I don’t know what the cooking class over there will be like."
Jocelyn Carrington blinked, her words tinged with a rare sorrow.
It was thanks to Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes that she could eat her fill amidst such intense training.
What about the cooking class over there?
She thought, in the future, she might never encounter a cooking class that would let her feast for free.
She was truly a bit reluctant to leave.
One by one, she packed her belongings and placed them into her military backpack, a heavy emotion indescribable spreading in her heart.
It’s easy to say goodbye, but when the actual time to leave came, it was hard to let go.
Jocelyn Carrington left at eight o’clock.
There were dozens of others who left with her.
Becca Reyes went out of her way to see her off.
From Dormitory 105, only Becca Reyes went to bid her farewell.
Belinda Nichols and Flossie Wright were sleeping, and Jessie Grain and Mariana Buck were not close to her.
Naturally, they didn’t go to see her off.

Jocelyn Carrington faced this calmly.
At eight o’clock, she left on time.
And when that vehicle left, the two dormitory buildings seemed to suddenly empty.
All at once, nearly half the people were gone.
The remaining people were mostly asleep.
The two buildings, only a few lights were still on, everything seemed to have plunged into tranquility.
"It feels like there are only a few people left."
"Yeah, it’s a little sad."
"We don’t even know if we’ll be able to stay."
"Every time I see them leave, I feel like I might be the next one."
"I really want to just give up, at least I’d have some certainty and not be left hanging."
The voices of discussion gradually faded away with the crowd.
Becca Reyes lagged behind.
Those in front were sending off friends; there were veteran soldiers and new recruits. After a period of coalescing, there seemed to be no distinction between newcomers and veterans amongst them, and recently, disagreements had been rare.
Walking slowly, Becca Reyes raised her hand and placed it on her chest.
Confusion, anxiety, palpitations.
