Summary
Dominic Sorel holds the distinction of being the youngest second lieutenant, serving as a subordinate to Dewey. His specific assignment involves attending to Anemone’s needs while keeping a close watch on her physical and mental well-being. The narrative never clarifies the reasons behind his rapid promotion, a mystery compounded by his occasional display of naivete. This youthful status causes friction within the military hierarchy, as older soldiers of significantly lower rank frequently struggle to obey his commands. Furthermore, Dominic recognizes that his commanding officers often view him as little more than a child, which leads to resistance and difficulty when he issues orders on Dewey’s behalf.
