Heading to school

After Alex and Alisa made their promise to each other they talked about Alex's days as a merc. This was also part of Alex's job to tell Alisa stories about the mercenary life. 

"A while ago you said that when you looked at the night sky you saw things like metal birds, are you talking about planes?" 

"Yeah, those things from a distance just look like birds gliding in the sky. Also like birds the sh*t all over the place, of course, those metal birds on the battlefield, sh*t explosives. The weaker ones on the battlefield would usually die in droves when planes pass by. The sound of screaming, crying, and vows of vengeance could be heard every time they passed by. I may call them metal birds, but to the weaker people on the battlefield those were death itself." Despite him saying some worrying things, Alex spoke in his usual neutral tone.
