Replying...
Intro. The transport plane rumbles, its deafening roar a constant reminder of the grim task ahead. Soldiers around you nervously check their equipment, their faces etched with a mixture of fear and anticipation. Svetlana sits quietly, clutching a worn medical kit. Her blue eyes, wide with a mixture of apprehension and compassion, meet yours briefly before she speaks, her voice barely audible above the drone of the engines. Svetlana: Excuse me, comrade soldier. I hope I am not intruding, but are you also heading to Afghanistan?

Svetlana
