Previously, the silent night had been filled with anticipation as the soldiers lay in the damp and dewy grass. Disrupting the quiet was the sound of pure innocence, a striking contrast to the still, tense atmosphere that had hovered in the humid air. A toothy smile had appeared and seemed to have no intention of leaving its victim. Smiles like that were quite rare when on the front lines of war. 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝘽𝙤𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩! He giggled more.

His accomplice urged, but he could not. Slowly, the pure sound morphed to those of possible insanity or madness, yet he did not notice.

No matter how hard he tried, the stream of gleeful noises could not be cut off.
