Dawn Redemption

As Noah said, there is no suspense.It should be said that when the letter was sent, the ending had already been written.So after receiving the reply from the headquarters, Finn just glanced at it, saw the time of departure, and put it in his pocket.

The table in the dormitory is already piled up with delicious food that Rolf and the others have worked so hard to find in the past few days.No one told Finn, probably to give him a surprise, but he knew.This surprise was too clumsy, but the more clumsy it was, the more it made Fein feel warm and a little sour at the tip of his heart.

In the last two days, there has been no work at all, and all the time is left for him to pack his things and say goodbye to his friends.

In this way, he has no reason to stay with Noah justifiably.He was afraid that after a long time, he would suddenly not be able to remember the appearance of Noah's house, the table decorations in his office, and which wall the wall clock was hung on.

He was afraid too much, and the more he thought about it, the more tired he became.

"Come on! Finn!" Marcus clapped his hands, "Dinner!"

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the sky outside is still not dark. It is probably because Finn has to get up early the next day to go to Berlin. If he goes to bed too late, he may not be able to rest well, so the dinner was brought forward, and several people returned early. in the dormitory.

"Huh? Specially prepared for me?" Finn didn't know what kind of tone to use to sound more natural when he asked knowingly, "Thank you."

"Brother, it should be." Marcus patted his shoulder, "Guys, guys, come and eat!"

Everyone gathered around the table and sat down.Finn glanced at the things on the table. Rum, tea, several kinds of sausages, and some snacks were no worse than the New Year's party.

This is probably the last time the six of them got together in this war-torn era.Finn looked at the food on the table, as if he was thinking about where to start. In fact, his thoughts had flashed back to the day before the New Year. The same scene, six people who would not have any connection but met in troubled times People, make an oath loudly.

"I'm going to be a very good broadcaster!"

"I have to find a woman to start a family and have children."

"I want to be a poet!"

"I'm going back to Berlin..."

Finn remembered that what he said at that time was...

"I want to be my original self, and I want to live my own life."

So is it done now?Finn lowered his head, afraid that the other people who were chatting easily would see the wry smile on his face.How could he be perfunctory with his own answer? He couldn't give a definite answer.He still can't be his original self now, and he seems to be getting deeper and deeper.

Even, he has never experienced it, and he can't imagine what a life that really belongs to him is like.

"Come on! Let's do it together. I wish Finn a successful career in Berlin and continue his promotion!" Rolf raised his glass and yelled.After Finn left, Rolf would serve as the temporary captain and temporarily manage the team.Usually, Rolf has been assisting Finn as the vice captain, and he is like a brother to all the team members, and he is also capable in doing things. Everyone sees it, so no one has any objections to this arrangement.

"Cheers—" Several cups collided together in a disorderly manner, clanging together.Finn withdrew his hand, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.The hotness has been falling from the throat into the abdomen, and it will not go away for a long time.

"See you after the war, but we must see you in good condition." Rolf said.Marcus next to him immediately smiled slyly and said, "Whether you're doing well or not, you should treat me to dinner."

Finn nodded: "Of course."

But in fact, when others were noisy and chatting, he was thinking about another thing.Others took it for granted that he was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk, so they didn't bother him until Finn suddenly spoke, and the dormitory suddenly fell silent, and five pairs of eyes stared at him.

"Rolf." Fein's voice was very calm, "I thought about what you said last time, and I figured it out." "What?" What is it, and he never thought that what he said casually could make him ponder for so long.

Fein took a deep breath: "You said that everyone is watching with a cold-eyed attitude. We are in this system, and we can't transcend time, and we can't see through everything we do."

"That's right?" "Wrong." Finn said, "We were wrong."

He didn't want to continue eating, put down the knife and fork in his hand, looked at Rolf's surprised eyes, and continued to use that flat and unrefutable voice: "This kind of thing can't be judged by future generations. This war, It was we who initiated it, and we were the ones who involved the whole of Europe, and even the world. Everyone in this camp, whether it’s us or the so-called prisoners, should live their lives under the original order.”

"Yes, but we are the builders of the new order!" Marcus interrupted suddenly, not so much to refute Finn, but with inexplicable enthusiasm.

When Finn was deliberating before, he had already expected that Marcus would be the first to stand up, and he still said calmly: "But before that, we are destroyers of order."

"The original order? What's the point?" Marcus stood up abruptly with his support on the table, his eyes were bloodshot and flushed suddenly. I don't know if he was controlled by anger or other emotions. "Maintain the original order, and continue to bear the heavy burden , the indemnity we can’t pay at all? Let those hooligans grab our land and play with our women?”

"Marcus, calm down!" Jonas hadn't said anything, but at this moment he couldn't bear it anymore, and tugged on Marcus's sleeve to make him sit down again, "We lost the previous battle, so this is the only way... …the only way to bear the consequences of failure.”

"Back then it was because we were weak, but now we are strong!" Marcus yelled so much that even Jonas shuddered, "We are strong enough! They have to bear the consequences of humiliating my country like that back then! Finn Didn't you think so before? Why, why did you change at this juncture!"

Finn couldn't answer that question, and fortunately, he didn't have to answer it yet.

"That's enough Marcus!" Rolf slapped the plates on the table and jumped up, and he also stood up abruptly, "Fin is leaving tomorrow, this meal is for him See you off, are you saying these words?"

The atmosphere between the two was suddenly tense, and the smell of gunpowder spread in the air.Everyone knows how close these two are, who are almost always bound together, bringing joy to everyone in gloomy surroundings.These two are not gay, but their relationship is far beyond ordinary friendship.

Because Finn is the captain, he usually has a cold face and acts harshly, so Rolf, the vice-captain, is very close to him supplementarily.Apart from always joking with the team members, he never lost his temper.But this time, everyone present could clearly see the anger on his face, and it was Marcus who had the best relationship with him.

Marcus was obviously also taken aback. He didn't expect that Rolf would get up and target him. He suddenly got hot and said without thinking, "What the hell are you thinking all day? This is ours." Work, this country is our faith!"

"I just think that at least the people are innocent." Finn was still sitting there, but his fists were clenched in excitement. "Whether it's our people or the Jewish civilians, they shouldn't have sacrificed for the war."

"Those Jews? Tell me about those dirty Jews. They are a despicable race. Isn't it our mission to clean them up?" "Shut up!" Rolf suddenly rushed up and grabbed them. Picking up his collar, "Have you been fucking brainwashed! Do you know that what you are saying now is exactly the same as those high-sounding officials above us who despise all day long? Even if it is, it is not your turn to brainwash us! You Don’t you even see what the hell is this occasion!?”

Marcus was almost picked up by the collar, with a sneer on his face, and he said slowly: "What's wrong? Before Finn left, you started to act like a captain, and you want to control me?"

"Damn!" Before the others stood up to stop him, Rolf punched Marcus hard in the face.He was beaten back a few steps, touched the corner of his bleeding mouth in disbelief, looked at the bright red blood on his fingers, and then slowly raised his head, staring at Rolf viciously.

He rushed forward, and the two of them tore together.It was completely different from the usual slapstick, the muffled sound of punching down made everyone who heard it terrified.When Finn stood up, he almost knocked over the glass, but he didn't even bother to help, and walked over quickly to separate the two.

But they didn't even intend to stop. Rudy, Kahn and Jonas also went to help together, and it took a lot of effort for the four to pull them away.Rolf was punched in the nose, and the nosebleed kept dripping down, staining his carefully manicured moustache.In addition to the broken corner of the mouth, Marcus's eyes were blackened.

"Fuck me, what are you doing!" Jonas growled, "Everyone is brothers, what can't you say?"

Finn stood between the two of them. When he went to separate them just now, he was punched a few times because of the chaotic scene. He just didn't say a word, and his neat military uniform became crumpled. "Calm down, both of you, don't hurt your own kindness because of things outside, it's not worth it."

Jonas had been struggling to hold Marcus' waist and dragged back, suddenly, he felt that the opposite force was gone.Marcus opened his eyes wide, and his eye sockets were twitching: "You... why are you doing this? Because we are going to lose? Why, have you forgotten the oath you made when you joined... this country, this land The land is everything we have to protect..."

His frightened eyes swept across the faces of the other five people, trying to find answers from their faces but failed.No one met his eyes, and neither did Finn.

The room that had been bustling just now suddenly became silent.

So when the door was knocked, everyone's nerves tensed up in unison.Seeing that people outside were about to open the unlocked door and walk in, Rolf and Marcus quickly wiped the blood on their faces with their hands.No matter how fierce the fight was just now, I don't want outsiders to know.

Everyone was stunned when the man walked in, especially Finn.

He could clearly see that from the moment he came in, Noah's keen eyesight captured the messy dining table very accurately, the flustered expressions of several people, and of course the faces of Rolf and Marcus were not wiped clean, but A bloodstain was smeared.

But what reassured Fein was that he acted as if he hadn't seen all this at all, and said in a relaxed tone: "Great, you are all here, are you saying goodbye to Fein?"

"Yes, sir." Finn stepped forward and stood at the front, "Why are you here?"

"Well." Noah smiled lightly, "Because Finn is leaving, I found a photographer to take a photo for everyone as a souvenir. I wanted my old friend Paul to come over , It’s a pity that he is not free. If you are free now, go outside to take pictures in the open space while the sky is still bright.”

Finn glanced back at the other five people, seeing that they did not raise any objections, he took it as acquiescence.With a flick of the head: "Let's go."

After going out to meet the photographer Noah had found, Finn nodded briefly, and led the team out of the building to the field outside.The sky has not yet completely darkened, and the venue is relatively open.

"Come on, everyone, face me and stand in a row—" the photographer quickly found the best angle for the light, and waved his hand to them to stand still.

"Fin, you stand in the middle, the protagonist is you." Jonas stretched out his hand and picked up Finn who was about to stand aside, and Finn couldn't evade it, so he stood there.

Jonas was standing next to him, and next to them were Kahn and Rudy.Rolf went up and stood on the far left. After seeing him standing still, Marcus rushed over to stand on the far right.

Finn glanced at the two of them worriedly, turned his head and saw Noah standing next to the photographer, and was about to say something when a voice sounded ahead of him.

"Sir!" Jonas said loudly, and before anyone could react, he quickly turned his head and gave Finn a wink as if asking for credit, "Come and take a group photo with you too!"

Finn worried that he would refuse for a moment, but in fact Noah didn't even hesitate, and walked over with a smile, standing between Finn and Rudy.

I don't know whether Noah stood in this position on purpose or at random.Finn's arm was almost close to his, and he had been in a more intimate relationship, but such contact still made him feel nervous, and he even felt that the smile on his face was a little stiff.

As the spotlight exploded, Finn suddenly wondered how silly he looked next to Noah in this photo.
