She said, you’re a soldier, different from them.
In Belinda Nichols’s memory, this was the first time Flossie Wright had directly addressed the topic of being a "soldier".
Without Flossie saying it, no one would know what she really thought about the identity of being a soldier.
Now, she had spoken out.

With such certainty, she affirmed this profession and fundamentally distinguished it from other blood-stained professions.
Lifting her eyes, Becca Reyes stared at her blankly for a long time, then slowly her eyes began to curve into a smile.
"I understand."
Becca Reyes released a breath of relief and spoke with a sense of ease.
"I’ll go first," Flossie withdrew her gaze and walked towards the door, pausing slightly as she opened it, glancing sideways at the two lying in the beds, "Remember to have regular psychological counseling."
Blinking, Becca Reyes watched her disappear at the door, belatedly responding with an "Oh..."
Once the door was closed, the ward instantly fell into silence.
Becca Reyes turned her head to look at the other woman lying down, Belinda Nichols.
Belinda didn’t move, but her gaze shifted towards Becca.
Hesitating, Becca asked, "Flossie wasn’t like this before, right?"
"Mm." Belinda responded coldly.
Sighing inwardly, Becca Reyes didn’t continue to disturb her.
Belinda was weak enough; she needed to rest.
As Becca Reyes lay down and closed her eyes, she found it hard to sleep.
She was convinced by Flossie’s words, her earlier entanglements completely dispelled, but having blood on her hands for the first time, even though her rationale had accepted it, closing her eyes would involuntarily bring forth the image of that pirate, and even their angry expressions.
She needed more time.
Becca Reyes knew it was just a matter of time.
The mission took place on the weekend, and after it ended, the regular training continued as usual, with no significant changes except for a few team members who were hospitalized with injuries.
The only change was that these fierce "water ghosts" experienced a period of slump for some time; aside from the veteran soldiers who had been on "Lere" missions before, few new soldiers were in good condition.
Killing wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
They all had emotions and desires; they charged forward resolutely during the mission, fighting to the death with the enemy, but after it, they also had nightmares and woke up in fright from the blood on their hands.
This was human nature.
Compared to those cold and ruthless people, the most valuable trait they had was this.
During that time, the dedicated Psychological Group didn’t rest, providing psychological counseling to each of the "water ghosts" who had participated in the action, busily going from one task to the next, trying to get the once vibrant team back to normal as quickly as possible.
And, during their free time, the "water ghosts" would also talk about Calvin Ramos.
Since rescuing the hostages from the pirates, they had not seen Calvin Ramos again. It was rumored that an investigation had uncovered some issues, but no one knew the specifics.
Only those who knew about the existence of Daniel Ramos could guess what Calvin Ramos was going through now.
As for Calvin Ramos’s dual personality, those investigating him were sure to notice something amiss and upon further inquiry, discovering his dual nature was not a problem; it was all about how to resolve it afterward.
Moreover, Sandy Cruz wouldn’t let him off easy.
A commander’s son, although his identity had never been exposed, the higher-ups in Eddy Codalt were still aware of him. Once he reported Daniel Ramos’s condition, even if Calvin Ramos were cured, he couldn’t possibly continue to stay in Eddy Codalt.
