At the camp mess, Ms. Jones (Yvonne) serves food and the general, struck by its familiarity, asks whether she visited the imperial prison in the capital eight years ago. Officers warn that if Harry's father is linked to that prison, Harry could be expelled from the army. Ms. Jones insists she was training as a cook in Riversouth and never went to the capital. Later, after a recruit defeats a veteran in drills, the general notes the boy's curly hair and mismatched eyes resemble his as a child, leaving identity and consequences unresolved.
