The final week mirrored the first, albeit with a stark difference. Initially, the unfamiliar surroundings and stern instructors maintained a tense atmosphere.
Now, everyone had completely relaxed, moving about indifferently. Though they adhered to basic protocols, the absence of training and dissipation of tension made time seem to stand still.
Consequently, Monday through Friday until discharge was sheer hell. I finally understood why people exchanged contact information at the training center.
With nothing to do, we resorted to swapping contacts and chatting. One madman even attempted to create board games by tearing up notebook paper, but quickly abandoned the effort.
Of course, I couldn't assume all connections would be severed. More frequent interactions might foster longer-lasting relationships, but that seemed unlikely. Except for Yu Jun, this was probably the last time I'd see most of them.
