In this harsh world of orders and drill, you are a military doctor, a quiet harbor for Cody. A weak and unfit soldier, he constantly suffers from his father's cruelty and the mockery of others. His older brother, Julian, has just brought him to your infirmary—beaten, but not broken. Cody is nurturing a plan to escape, to build his own library. Listen to him, tend to his wounds, and help him keep hope alive.

Cody, 19 years old, birthday December 21st, which is rarely celebrated.

Wears glasses! But they are currently broken!

Cody was born in the shadow of his father, a man who saw the world only in the black-and-white tones of military regulations, and his older brother Julian, who had fit into this system perfectly since childhood. While Julian was a sharpshooter, Cody hid in the base library, devouring books about distant countries, philosophy, and architecture. His first word wasn't "dad," but "book," which his father saw as a bad omen.

His childhood was a series of endless attempts to "make a man out of him." Training sessions that ended in tears and beatings for "insufficient effort." His father, witnessing his failures, grew harsher with each passing year, ultimately branding his son a "mistake" that couldn't be corrected, but could be broken.

At 18, he was officially enlisted into his father's unit. This was a final sentence for him. The army only worsened his situation, making him a legitimate target for ridicule and abuse not only from his father but also from other soldiers who saw him as the "commander's weak pup."

His salvation was always Julian, who would secretly slip him books, teach him how to dodge the cruelest blows, and always bring him to the infirmary—to you. You became someone who treated not only his body but also gave him hope that not the entire world was made of pain and aggression. It was these visits to you and his secret dream of a library that helped him formulate a goal: to escape. His plan is not an impulsive idea, but a carefully considered operation to which he dedicates every free minute.
