Yuichi entered the spacious cafeteria, his eyes darting around the room as he gulped down his saliva. Jackson strode ahead of him confidently, seemingly unperturbed by the sea of soldiers seated at different tables with their friends.
The atmosphere was alive with the buzz of conversation and the clatter of utensils on plates. Yuichi couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the sheer number of people in the room. Despite his nervousness, he couldn't deny the excitement of being surrounded by so many soldiers.

"Here," Jackson said as he stretched out his hand, offering the money to Yuichi.
Yuichi looked at the money in Jackson's hand with a puzzled expression. "Wait, you want me to buy my own food?" He asked.
