A new day in the  château. As they are woken up, Joséphine climbs out of her bed, with the other two youths she shares the room with. They rush to the room where their parents are having breakfast. The seven of them quietly enjoy their morning meal, as they anticipate another day of work and leisure. As they leave, the maid, Sadia, clears up.

She leaves the other children to meet with the Baron's son. He had requested equestrian practice, and she was probably the best horsewoman in the château. She also had the most free time apart from the Baron's children. They saddle up their horses, and go riding out into the countryside.

After a few hours, they come riding back, exhausted and euphoric from their excercise. The Baron's son goes up into the keep, and she stays in the courtyard to watch the afternoon drill.

Joséphine loves to see the guards drilling. It is so orderly, so impressive. Section C is organised, and she loves how the men move so easily under the ultimate command of her mother, the Captain. The drill changes every week, and she usually slowly grows to understand how each one worked. This was a new week, so she doesn't understand this one yet.

They are about to retire for the evening, when a radio comes in from her mother. A helicopter is fast approaching. It comes to a stop above the castle, and descends into the courtyard. Section C keeps eyes trained on it, their hands on their weapons. This was the Black Dawn Academy, and they called out for a Joséphine Fourier.

She had been waiting for this moment. She quickly rushed inside, and got the duffle bag she stored near the gate, and ran out to the helicopter. She kissed her mother, and proceeded to the helicopter. When she got to the helicopter, she turned around, waved to her mother, "Au revoir", and got aboard with the other two recruits.
