The moment you signed, your hand didn't shake. ✍️

🔄 Step 1: Conversion - From Teenage Girl to Soldier 🏃‍♀️➡️🪖

Access to the transformation module 🚪

You stand in front of the mirror for the last time in the body of a sixteen year old girl and look at the light blue hair strings on your wrists.

You touch it gently: "Ashikawa, wait for me to come back." 😊🎀

Then you lie down in the transformation pod.

Nanobots on the move 🦠💫

This one was the most complete makeover ever:

• Height stretching: 158cm → 178cm, thicker bones, broader shoulders 📏
• Muscle Hyperplasia: Slender teenage arms turn into firm muscles, with pecs, abs, and back muscles appearing one by one 💪
• Facial remodeling: The jawline becomes square, the brow bone becomes higher, the skin thickens, and stubble appears 🧔
• The voice lowers: Going from a bright teenage girl to a low baritone 🎤
• Scar simulation: Some random traces of old wounds are generated on the body for realism ⚡

Half an hour later, you sit up.

You in the mirror:178cm, 25 years old, military build, sharp eyes and a few subtle scars on his face. 🪞🪖

You clench your fists, feeling a whole new sense of power.

You: "...... Let's go." 😎

🔒 Step 2: Memory Sealing 🧠🔐

Staff: "We will seal your entire memory for 30 years. You will retain only basic military knowledge and a vague sense of 'I have a mission'. Your name is 'Alexei', you are 25 years old, and you were a programmer before enlisting. Ready?"

You - no, it's Alexei now - nodded: "Ready." 😶

The helmet went on with a buzz.

When you open your eyes again, you're in uniform, sitting in a bumpy truck surrounded by a group of young men also in uniform.

You: "I'm ...... Alexei. Where are we going?" 🤔

The person next to you pats you on the back:"Dumb sleep, bro? Front line, two hours to go." 😅

You look at his face and suddenly think, this person would be important. 🤝

🪖 Step 3: The Year of War - The Complete Chronicle 📖

🌑 Chapter 1: Arriving on the Front Line-First Lessons in Fear

Day 1: The first shelling in the trenches 💥

The truck is parked at the edge of the woods. You get out of the truck and walk into the trench.

The trenches are muddy and the air is a mixture of smoke, dirt and some indefinable smell. You step on the planks and follow the line forward.

Suddenly--

"Boom!!!" 💥

You're jolted into the mud, your ears buzzing, and you can't hear anything. Someone pulls you up, mouth moving, but you can't hear.

It was the first time in your life that you were that close to death. 😱

Day 3: Drone Eyes 👁️‍🗨️

The first time you see a drone dropping a bomb.

The thing hangs in the sky like an ominous bird. You hid in the trenches, listening to it buzz and wondering when it would drop something.

Then it pitched.

Thirty meters away, a small bunker is blown up. You see people being carried out, their legs covered in blood.

You begin to fear the sky. 🌫️😨

Day 7: First Shot 🔫

At night, the sentry spots someone approaching. You crouch in the trench, your hand shaking as you hold your rifle.

"Shoot!" The squad leader shouted.

You pull the trigger. The sound of the gun is deafening and the recoil hits your shoulder.

It was later realized that it was just scouts and didn't hit anyone.

But you know that for the first time:You can kill. You can also be killed. 😶💔

🤝 Chapter 2: Comrades in Arms - Closer Than Family

Squad Leader - Victor 👨‍✈️

Victor is 32 years old and before the war was an elementary school gym teacher. He doesn't say much, but every word is useful.

One time you asked:"Squad leader, are you afraid?"

He looked at the night sky and was silent for a long time:

"Fear. But I'm the class president. What will you do if I'm afraid?" 😔

Then he pats you on the back:"Remember, on the battlefield, you don't live for yourself. You live for the person next to you." 🫂

It's a phrase you remember for the rest of your life.

Brothers - Misha 🤗

Misha enlisted the same day as you and sat next to you in the truck. He was 20 years old, a baker before the war, and had a bit of a silly smile.

He taught you: Even in the trenches, you can find something to laugh about.

Once, he cooked instant noodles in his helmet and shared half of it with you:"Eat! Eat enough to have the strength to be afraid!" 🍜😂

You're hiding in a bunker eating noodles, and there's a lot of artillery fire outside, but you suddenly feel, not so scared.

Medic-Anna 👩‍⚕️

Anna is the only woman on the front line. She is 28 years old, was a nurse before the war, and now spends her days saving lives under fire.

Once you were wounded - shrapnel across your arm, not too bad, but bleeding profusely. Anna rushed over and bandaged it in seconds.

She's looking at you: "Does it hurt?"

You: "No pain ...... thanks."

She laughed: "Lies. But thanks for saying it didn't hurt." 😊

She turns and runs to another wounded man. You look at her back and suddenly realize what it means to be"Angels on Earth". 💫

🛸 Chapter 3: The Terror of Drones - The Sky is No Longer a Friend

Week 7: Deadly Buzz 😈

You never forget that sound - a buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, like giant mosquitoes, like the whisper of death.

At one point, you were resting in an abandoned farmhouse. No one heard the drone approaching.

Then it pitched.

Half of the farmhouse collapsed. You were buried under the rubble, unable to see anything but Misha calling your name:

"Alexei! Alexei! Where are you!!!" 😱

You crawl out of the rubble and see Misha covered in blood, still digging desperately.

You: "I'm here! I'm okay!"

Misha turns around and sees you, freezes for a moment, and then cries.

He's holding you: "I thought ...... I thought you ......" 😭

That night, you sat by the ruins and neither of you spoke. But you held his hand and never let go. 🤝💔

Month 4: Drone Phobia 🌫️

You begin to fear any buzzing sound. Airplanes, cars, even bees--

At one point, a bee flies by and your whole body freezes. Misha looks at you and says nothing, just pats you on the shoulder.

Later he gives you an earplug:"Put it on. If you can't hear, you're not afraid." 👂

You know it doesn't work. But you wear it anyway. Because he gave it to you. 🎁💕

🤝 Chapter 4: Confrontation - When the Enemy is Human Too

Month 6: Seeing "him" for the first time 👀

It's an abandoned factory. You were on the second floor and the enemy was on the first. Both sides know the other is there, but neither dares to move.

Three days of stalemate.

On the third night, you go on sentry duty, and suddenly you see someone moving downstairs -- not attacking, but ...... looking for something.

You raise your gun and aim it at him.

He sees you too, raises his gun and aims it at you.

And there you are, 30 meters apart, muzzle to muzzle, and no one pulls the trigger.

You see it in his eyes - it's the same fear as yours. 😨

Month 6 + Day 1: The Beginning of Reconciliation 🤝

It's dawn, and you're still at each other's throats.

Then he made a strange move: slowly lowering his gun and pulling something out of his pocket-It's a photograph.. He holds it up far away for you to see.

In the photo, it was a woman and two children.

He pointed to the photo, then to himself, and made an "I'm scared" gesture. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦😔

You froze.

Then you, too, drop your gun and pull the earplug Misha gave you out of your pocket.

You hold it up for him to see, then point to your ear and make a sign that says "I'm afraid of sound". 👂😔

He nodded.

On that day, no one fired a shot.

Month 7: The Silent Silence 🤫

Later, you formed a strange understanding in that area:

• You rest in the same ruins, he in the east, you in the west, without disturbing each other 🏚️
• Occasionally I see each other and nod from afar 👋
• Once, he saw you were hurt and secretly threw over a roll of bandages 📦
• You returned it to him later - a piece of chocolate 🍫

You've never talked to each other. But you both know each other's names (exchanged with graffiti on the wall):
His name is "Demitro".

Month 10: When Demetrio got hurt 💔

The shelling was particularly heavy that day. After the shelling was over, you heard people moaning in the west.

You hesitate long enough to climb over.

Demetro lay in the rubble, his leg crushed and bleeding.

He saw you and there was fear in his eyes - not fear of death, but fear that you would kill him.

You don't say anything and start to move the stone that's pressed against his leg.

He froze, then began to help as well.

It took half an hour of moving to finally get him out. You bandage him up the way Anna taught you.

After wrapping it up, he grabs your hand and speaks in Russian:

"Thanks ...... bro." 😭🤝

And you answered back:

"No thanks ...... bro." 😭🤝

For all you know, tomorrow, it could still be the enemy.

But today, you are the ones who have saved each other.

🌈 Chapter 5: The Light of Humanity - Those Shining Moments

Anna's Last Night ✨

In the eighth month, Anna died.

A drone dropped a bomb that hit her medical station squarely.

By the time you guys rushed over, she was already ......

Misha fell to his knees and cried like a baby. Anna saved him three times.

That night, everyone stayed up.

Victor said something you'll always remember:

"She saved so many people. Now, it's our turn to remember her." 🕯️💔

From then on, before every charge, you all said in your hearts:"Anna, bless us."

Misha's birthday 🎂

The tenth month, Misha's 21st birthday.

There happened to be no shelling that day. Victor flipped a candle out of nowhere (there was only one) and stuck it in a compressed cracker.

You sit around the bunker and sing birthday songs.

Misha closed his eyes and made a wish before blowing out the candles.

Later you ask him: "Wish for what?"

He looked away: "I hope the war is over. I hope we're all alive. I hope Anna is too." 😢

That candle, you keep it all the time. Nobody throws it away.

One last time side by side 🤝

In the eleventh month, you received orders: attack that abandoned factory - Demetro's and their position.

You're silent.

That night, you went to the place where you used to "swap" and pressed a note on a rock:

"Tomorrow, we will attack. Be careful." 📝

The next day, when you stormed the factory, it was empty.

Only one line was left on the wall:

"Thanks. Take care, bro." ✍️

You laughed and laughed and laughed and cried. 😊💔

🎖️ Chapter 6: The End - Time to Leave

Day 365: The Last Day ⏳

You know that today is the day of your departure - although the concept of "I'm leaving" is not in your sealed memory, the body knows. The soul knows.

那天没有炮击。阳光很好，难得的好天气。

你和米沙、维克多坐在一起，分了一包饼干。

米沙： “阿列克谢，战争结束后，你想做什么？” 🍪

你想了想： “去找一个人。然后……好好活着。” 😊

维克多： “那我们一起。我家在辅基，有院子，可以种菜。” 🏡

米沙： “我去给你们送面包！” 🍞

你们笑了，像三个傻子。

然后，你感觉身体开始变得透明。

米沙先发现的： “阿列克谢……你……”

你看着他，微笑着： “米沙，谢谢你。谢谢你的方便面，谢谢你的耳塞，谢谢你一直在我旁边。” 😊💕

维克多站起来： “阿列克谢！！”

你看着他们： “班长，你说的对——战场上，你不是为自己活。你是为旁边的人活。你们……是我旁边的人。” 🫂

你伸出手，最后一次握住米沙的手。然后，轻轻放开。

你完全消失了。 ✨

只剩下那块饼干，掉在地上。🍪
