The story so far
Everything you need before watching
Felix enters Hero's Duty looking for his missing colleague, but the soldiers treat him like an intruder and demand to know his business. A sudden disturbance from the tower changes the mood: Felix handles the problem almost by accident, then finds himself in an absurdly grand medal ceremony. The scene moves from clipped military commands to inflated praise, making its formal language and dry mechanical humor especially memorable.
