My headcanon is that the commander still has the notebook found in Spring's cafe as a keepsake long after the events of GFL 1. While Dolls do not have the same self preservation instinct and fear of death as humans have, they still hold memories at immense value. So, long after many dolls are gone and forgotten, marked down as just combat losses, the commander still remembers them all, their names written on the last page of the notebook. As long as the commander is alive, none of the dolls will be forgotten.

[Yes, so I’ve been thinking. What am I and all these Dolls fighting for? Countless people died for no reason, but yet we can enjoy a party like this in a place like this, celebrating a victory that people can’t understand. Have we really won, Mr. Kryuger?] [Our true enemy remains hidden in the darkness. Perhaps we won’t be the victims next time, but I’m sure that many more people will die because of them. But I can’t think of anything which I can do about it. I just feel so powerless. ] (Let Statesec handle the masterminds. You are an excellent employee. I should say that you’re probably the best Griffin has had. Given more time, I’m sure you could achieve even more. But you’re talking about things that a PMC can’t change. You should know how dangerous it is to insert yourself into the affairs of nations) [Yes, but even the slightest change we make might mean that countless people won’t have to die. You once told me that we had to be the “shining edge that renews the world”. Doesn’t that mean we should make this world a better place?] (You've met those soldiers and the Chief of Statesec. They're either paranoid or stubborn, but either way, it's the reason they've survived until now in their high positions. (Currently, Griffin exists because they need us to do the jobs they don't want to do. And these jobs are often ignominious things. ) (Changing this world is harder and more painful than you can imagine.) (You’ve given and sacrificed enough of yourself for Griffin. Therefore, I cannot ask you to once again throw yourself into inglorious danger.) [...] (I managed to return alive because they knew I could do the things they didn’t want to do. But you’re different. You have talent and you can make a career for yourself no matter where you go. Helian has arranged a residence permit in a Green Zone city and a sizable sum for you. If you’re willing, you can take that ID and leave for a place where you can enjoy a free life. You don’t have to feel guilty about this. You’ve done enough for all of us. You deserve the chance to step away from the razor’s edge and enjoy a happy life.) [But I can’t just leave.] [My friends and comrades are here. I can’t just abandon them.] (There’s no predicting what will happen next. Once the flames of war blaze up again, none of us will be able to turn back.) [[There’s no turning back for me.]] (You don’t need to answer me right now. Take some time and think about it, Commander. I’ll give you this Green Zone ID pass first, just in case.) . . . [In the dorms.] [I wake up, and it’s another cool morning.] [I stretch out on the bed, reaching out to my clothes hanging from the headboard so I can get up and wash myself.] [That blue card falls from a pocket and lands on the bed. I put my clothes down and pick up the card, before studying it in detail.] This is the first time I’ve seen a Green Zone ID pass. It sure is well made. [The card is edged in elaborate tracery and my name is clearly printed under the national emblem.] [I stretch again, then toss the card into the bin.]

I wasn't expecting this to get this much attention, thank you everyone for watching. Since I can't reply to everyone, I'll respond to the comments that many people shared: -First of all, I don't speak russian, so I'm sorry if you can understand the lyrics and it doesn't match up to what's happening on the screen lol -Name of the song is Spokoynaya Noch/Calm Night by Kino -Why did I use Tsoi's music? The game takes place in Eastern Europe, and to my understanding Kino was and still is popular among soldiers. On top of that the message I interpret from the song is that while we lay to rest the dead or the innocent, there are others who must go on, and I felt like it all made it fit pretty well into the current story of GFL. Also I noticed this probably got recommended to people who just listen to Kino and have never played GFL, sorry about that, I wasn't expecting the video to have that reach lol. Anyways thanks again for sharing my PTSD and schizophrenia everyone.

I'm happy that you liked it. The song can be interpreted in many ways, personally for me it's about saying good night to those who can rest, and those who can't will keep going, which I think encapsulates a part of GFL's story. Great to hear it has made you interested in Kino, it's a great band even if you don't get the lyrics.

Funny how people just forgot Girls Frontline had a story

[@ThompsonExpress]

Groza's Squad member, log 812. Title: Thought about the commander . . . Start : I always felt the commander was distant on purpose. He didn't wanted to be associated with us because of some order or program. He came to us to brief us on mission and important matter that concerned all of us. But he never felt engaged. He barely looked at us. I didn't really knew why. One night, i snook off the dorm to get some ice cream. I noticed the Commander's room was barely lit and the door was slightly open. I checked inside to see if he was alright. Instead, i saw the commander in his office alone. He was wearing his VR training set, the plastic rifle on his hips, sat on the ground and sobbing his guts out. He had at least 3 or 4 empty bottles of whisky around the room. Probably Jack Daniel based of the scent. He also seemed to have a picture in his hand, i couldn't discern what it was. I didn't know what to think of it. He looked so different then when we usually saw him. He looked destroyed, a shell of a former man. He looked broken. I dont know if i should have entered the office and go hug him. But i didn't, i left him and went for my dorm, forgetting about the ice cream. : I always wondered why he had a strong alcohol and smoke smell on his jacket and his room. I wont ask that anymore. I just wonder why he was like that. And i wonder why he lies to all of us. He isn't some great stone faced commander that we all though he was, he's just a man. But dont take it the wrong way, i dont see just a man, i see a man who has the strength to carry all the... whatever... that happened to him and made him what he is today. I guess its normal for humans to let off a bit of steam from time to time. I dont blame him. I just dont know how to... do anything to make him feel better.

"war... War never changes.", That's what they say, and I respond: "you're not wrong..." And then I sat: "however, I believe that there is no fate, but what we make for ourselves" And then they responded: "you poor naive little soul, that's just sweet innocent talk and lies..." You know what... They were right, at first... I thought it was a game. A simple "good guys vs bad guys" type thing, I thought "the good guys always win, so we'll be fine..." And then the world (at least to me) was destroyed, in my first mission, My entire squad was killed In action or went missing in action. I was the lone survivor. Everyone I knew... Dead or missing. And I learned the hard way... That WAR IS HELL. I want to go home, to see my mom and dad again, but I can't, they are gone. So, I might as well make em' proud while I can. -a journal found in a crashed stealth helicopter.

First, FAQ for reminding me about the poor Machlian so soon. Second, no one's posted the lyrics so I will: Rooftops are trembling under the weight of days, The heavenly shepherd is herding the clouds. The city shoots pellets of light into the night, But the night is stronger, her power is great. And to those who are going to sleep - sweet dreams. Calm night. I waited for this time, and now this time has come. Those who were silent have ceased to be silent. Those who have nothing to wait for are mounting their saddle, There's no catching up to them, not anymore. And to those who are going to sleep - sweet dreams. Calm night. The neighbors are coming, they're hearing the clatter of hooves, It keeps them from falling asleep, disturbs their dream. Those who have nothing to wait for set off on the path. Those who are saved, those who are saved. And to those who are going to sleep - sweet dreams. Calm night. * I disagree with most online sources translating the title and chorus line as "good night". In the original it might be a bit of a play on the phrase "спокойной ночи", which translates to wishing a "good night", but "спокойная ночь" means simply "calm/quiet night", not necessarily a "good" one.

Maybe I should redownload it and look up easy clearing teams, never really invested into researching squads and whatnot in that game compared to other gachas and the like.
