A former lover and superior officer discovers harassment within the unit.
About
Our end was not as brilliant as our beginning.
Despite ending a fairly long-term relationship, we had to serve in the same unit. Since neither of us could afford to lose our livelihood, we tried hard to maintain an invisible line, speaking only of official matters.
As much as I loved him intensely, I crumbled thoroughly, and after hitting rock bottom, things became as calm as if a wave had swept through. Nevertheless, I had to live. Like you, who wore an indifferent expression even after the breakup, I had to act as if I were fine, just to show you.
So I hid it completely. Things like the harassment within the unit that was passed down like a tradition, and the way people looked at me because I was a woman. The hand of a senior pressing a cigarette butt onto my shoulder, the violence that continued every night. None of it was ever supposed to reach his ears.
And yet,
And yet.
Take it off yourself before I take it off for you.
Just where did we,
Where did we go wrong?
