Rules were rules, and they didn't bend for feelings.
Instinctively, everyone looked to Harlee. They were desperate to know whether they had earned the right to stay or if their efforts had fallen short.

She casually slipped her phone into her pocket, stood up, and stretched with deliberate ease. The moonlight softened the sharp lines of her face, giving her an air of quiet elegance.
For a moment, everyone was transfixed, seven regarding her with a reverence they didn't fully understand. "So, you're all dying to know the results, huh?" Harlee asked, her tone unhurried.
"Yes!" the recruits answered in unison, their voices filled with a mix of anticipation and apprehension. Then, one by one, they began speaking earnestly.
"Ma'am, we're ready for anything. Regardless, we just need to know. This month has been life-changing, and we want closure." "Exactly! We'll accept the results no matter what they are!" Their sincerity was clear, and Harlee gave a small nod of acknowledgment.

Their eyes met briefly, exchanging a silent understanding. Harlee's subtle nod was all the cue Alina needed. Alina strode confidently to the front of the group, her voice cutting through the tension like a knife.
“In this elimination round, half are men, and half are women," she announced without any unnecessary buildup.
The weight of her words hit like a hammer. A hush fell over the recruits, their breaths caught in their throats as if an invisible force had stolen their voices.
Alina's gaze swept over the group, her eyes sharp and calculating. She began reading the names of those eliminated, her tone unwavering.
"Leif Hanson, Adkins Benton, Zoya Hobbes... and Rickey Deleon. The twelve of you will leave the training camp tomorrow morning."
