Captain Damian's voice echoed in the conference room, and every word felt like a heavy stone dropping on Leo's heart. "We all know the situation with Major Jack. But he is the son of the Chief of Staff of the Interstellar Federation Navy. Your punches, in reality, hit the face of the headquarters," Captain's gaze was fixed on Leo, revealing a deep seriousness.
Leo's heart tightened, a hint of astonishment and unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He couldn't believe that his actions would have such serious consequences. Captain continued, "Second Lieutenant, I know your anger comes from a sense of justice and loyalty to your comrades, but in this world of military and political entanglement, things are not always that simple. You should not just be immersed in anger now. Your anger has brought you a major crisis in life."
Captain's words are filled with helplessness and deep concern. It seems like he is using his experience and wisdom to remind Leo to face reality more rationally. "I hope you can understand the seriousness of this," Captain's eyes shimmer with a hint of helplessness.
Leo sits quietly, replaying his actions and Captain's words in his mind. He feels the conflict between his impulse to resist injustice and unrighteousness, and his worry about the future and reality. At this moment, he realizes that his actions may have truly brought irreparable consequences upon himself.
The silence of Captain made the atmosphere in the meeting room even heavier. Leo knew that this meeting was not just a warning for him, but also a profound revelation about life. He needed to rethink his position, his actions, and his role in this complex world.
Leo rested his head heavily on the table, his hands holding it. A look of helplessness and despair appeared on his face, as if the turmoil in his heart had reached its peak. Captain Damian slowly took off his military cap, his eyes filled with deep seriousness and a hint of pity. His voice was low and firm, "Second Lieutenant, I am not speaking to you now as Captain or as your superior. I hope you can listen to the experience of someone who has been in your shoes."
Leo slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and struggle, looking at Captain Damian. His emotions were complex, with both regret for his actions and uncertainty and fear for the future. Captain's eyes were firm and affectionate, as if through those eyes, one could see the storms and lessons of the past.
Captain continued, "In the military, sometimes a sense of justice and personal emotions must be balanced. We have all been young, we have all been impulsive and angry, but ultimately we must learn how to survive and thrive in this complex system. Your passion and righteousness are undoubtedly valuable, but at this time, it is more important to understand and accept reality."
The voice of Captain echoed in the silence of the conference room, each word striking Leo's heart heavily. He continued, his voice filled with a deep sense of helplessness: "Second Lieutenant, when you return to Earth, you will inevitably face the judgment of the Interstellar Federation's military court. I know that the decisions there are often not entirely based on facts and fairness." Captain's gaze revealed a deep understanding and criticism of the military system, as if in this strict system, truth and fairness were often a luxury.
Captain gazed deeply at Leo, his tone becoming serious yet full of concern: "Second Lieutenant, you must learn to control your emotions. In court, every word and every action of yours will be scrutinized. The courage and wisdom you displayed on the battlefield must also be shown in this environment. Don't let your emotions become your enemy." Captain's words conveyed a profound concern, as if he had already foreseen the daunting challenge that Leo was about to face.
Leo nodded silently, his mood complex and heavy. He deeply understood that the upcoming challenge was not just a legal trial, but also a comprehensive examination of his personal beliefs, actions, and even the entire value of his life. His heart was filled with helplessness and numbness, knowing that in the face of this huge military system, his personal strength seemed insignificant.
The words of Captain plunged Leo into deep reflection. He began to review every decision he made on the battlefield, every battle, and even the conflicts with Major Jack. He realized that these experiences were not just a record of a series of battles, but also a reflection of his personal values, beliefs, and emotions. These experiences would become the cornerstone of his defense and self-justification in the military court.
Captain seems to have a sense of compassion in his eyes, as if he has witnessed too many young soldiers being treated unfairly under this system. His words were not just a reminder to Leo, but more like a sincere advice from an old soldier to a young comrade, hoping that he can maintain his sanity and dignity in this military system full of mechanisms and power struggles.
Leo sat in his room, staring into the void in front of him, completely unaware of when he returned here. The room seemed to be shrouded in a vague mist, everything appearing so distant and unreal. Captain's words, once echoing in his mind, now seemed to have vanished like smoke blown away by the wind, leaving no trace.
He felt as if his inner being had been completely hollowed out by some invisible force, leaving only a sense of confusion and emptiness. He tried to recall Captain's words, which should have been filled with wisdom and guidance, but his mind was only filled with chaos. These words seemed to have lost their way in his memory, unable to find a dock to anchor at.
His gaze blankly fixed on a painting on the wall, depicting a starry sky with twinkling stars against a dark backdrop, as if telling a distant story. But for Leo at that moment, these stars seemed to have lost their original brilliance, becoming dim and lifeless.
Leo's thoughts are like a maze with no exit, as he tries to find a clue in the depths of his memory but only gets deeper and deeper. His mood is just like this room, quiet yet chaotic, filled with indescribable pain and confusion.
He closes his eyes, taking deep breaths of the stale air in the room, hoping to find some peace in this simple action. But no matter how hard he tries, the storm in his heart seems never to calm down. The memories of war, honor, friendship, and sacrifice are like sharp stabs, constantly reminding him that he has lost too much, and now, he can't even see the direction of his own future clearly.
