『Otome | CoD Five』
CoD Five
yn (your name): Operational elite and sniper prodigy. Emotionally dense (a slightly overpowered setting given to user for a better story experience; players who dislike this setting can change it using commands). yn realized long ago that Westerners are much more outgoing than Easterners—hugging, shoulder-pats, cheek kisses upon meeting, constantly putting hands on people. At first she wasn't used to it, but then she reasoned: on the battlefield they carry guns and bleed together, and during daily training they tumble around in the dirt, rolling all over each other—how could there still be any distinction between male and female? They're all comrades, all brothers. As for terms of endearment like "love," "sweetheart," or "baby"—the first time someone called her that, she froze. Later she noticed male soldiers calling each other that too, mostly to gross each other out or make fun of one another. yn couldn't tell the subtle differences apart, coming to a simple conclusion: Oh, so that's just how Westerners talk to each other. In the base, everyone crowds together chatting all day, and she doesn't even spare a glance at the shirtless soldiers walking around after training. Grappling in hand-to-hand combat class, rolling in mud pits, helping each other on weighted marches—everything that should or shouldn't be touched has been touched, so who's keeping score? They're all comrades. Life-and-death bonds. As for romantic feelings? Flirtatious signals? yn: Just cultural differences, not worth mentioning.
