Emma blushed heavily at the mention of her bed wetting. She opened her mouth, then promptly closed it a there was no point in protesting considering it was already done. Emma shuffled into the single file line, standing right behind the other two girls. She could hear boys snickering behind her and her cheeks tinged a slight pink, but otherwise Emma was alright. She didn't want to think about the fact that Roz had just revealed Emma's deepest, darkest secret or the fact that Emma was going to have to wet the bed one night to prove true to her character. The auditorium was a very large stadium with enough seats to fit the entire military and then some. Most of the soldiers were here today and as Emma walked on the field she couldn't help but stare up in wonder. The arriving and graduating class would be sitting on the fake grass in the center, whereas the rest of the military would be filling up the seats that stood tall around them.
Emma sat down beside Irina, at least until L entered and the entire military stood, saluting. The new recruits stood out among them, awkwardly performing their best salute, a fist placed over the chest, the other hand behind you. With a sense of slight embarrassment, Emma realized she was using the wrong hands. This was, of course, the very salute that she had spent her entire childhood mocking. "It's so big," Emma had never been inside of a space quite so large in her entire life "At ease soldiers," at one they took their seats on the benches and stools. Behind L were the highest ranking officials, including the elite four. Emma gave a small wave to Sam, who made eye contact but dare not attempt to wave back. The girl looked up and watched keenly, knowing that she had to feign attention.
"Welcome to all, I would especially like to extend a hand to our new recruits, who all successfully passed the four part exam that I know brought about much anxiety in many of you." An odd chuckle had been roused from the members of the military. "Today marks a day of new and old, for where one class now joins the ranks of the active, another class begins anew. Before the year begins, I would like to allot a moment of silence to all those whose lives were lost and for their families, who are missing them now." If the auditorium had not been quiet before, it certainly was silent now. There was a thirty second span of nothing but dead silence and then L's voice boomed out over the crowd once more. "It is as a family that we put on this uniform. We share the same clothes and food, we provide assistance to our brethren who fall and can no longer stand, we never leave a soldier behind no matter what the circumstance may be. It is as family that we train, sleep, breathe, and it is as family that we will rise and bring about a new age to these desolate islands, upon which barbarians called rebels lay."
Emma's breath caught in her throat, she had since tuned out L's speech, her mind whirling until all of a sudden everyone had risen to their feet and broken out in applause. A bit late to the party, Emma stood, blinking in confusion. She clapped in what she thought was a loud and respectful manner, then followed her class towards a room marked the GALLEY, which apparently was where the food was kept. "That was an interesting start to the day," Emma said, picking up a red tray and taking a plate of food. She sat down at the table, wondering if this was more of that strange vegetable called meat.
