6 months time skip

He needs to be a General to be able to campaign for the United Nations Peace Committee, based in Mons, Belgium. This is the Allied Forces command structure that oversees worldwide conflicts in order to de escalate;
- Furious with being told he needs to be at least 50 to apply again, he breaks shit in his office, completely out of character but Aine, who was there, takes his face in her hands and tells him he was never build to fit the mold, that he should just carve his own path, demolish a new one if he has to;
- She inspires him to remember his younger self and his vision of completely replacing the system and she is insane enough to formulate that plan with him after they have very intense sex in the messed up office;
