Boom.
She decides to leave the camp for good.
Meeting that northern soldier triggered something bad in her, she can't sleep, she can't be somewhere surrounded by men.
What Tal Tal did that night surely caught her interest, but wasn't enough to solve the whole problem.
She doesn't make some documents or whatever, she just leaves the camp, returns to her basic form and won't ever use that manly look ever again, since she expects 'Sooshik' to be hunted down as a deserter after that. She modelled that look herself, there is no risk someone will get hurt at her place for that trick.
Before leaving though, in late night, she gets approached by Tero. "I've heard you speaking to my umma about the humans."
"The priests have brought them somewhere unknown, we are investigating. Do you know them?"
"My brother disappeared."
She turns around to look at him. "Now you call him brother?"
He frowns. "Is he among the people who were taken by the priests?"
"I can't be sure. I haven't seen them, I just know for certain that the three who were in your mother's house were taken."
"It wasn't the priests to take them away", suddenly says Boo.
"Who has taken them, then?" she asks in a worried tone.
"They have been taking humans all over the countryside, for months by now, to 'reinforce' the borders", explains Boo.
"WHAT?!" react Carlie and Tero at the same time.
Tero approaches Boo. "How do you know for sure?!"
"I have seen it all. With my very own eyes."
"How do we know where they were taken to?" growls Tero.
"How do we save them?!" asks Haru.
"You can't find them and you can't save them. If they ever leave those camps without an official discharge, they'll be killed on sight for being deserters."

Stress factor = Boom.
He jumps on the walls of the camp and from there, he leaps into Wung Manor. He clings all the way to the second floor, where MinHo's room is and starts to knock on his window, until he wakes up and comes to open.
MinHo. "Tero?! What are yo-"
"Tell me where was my brother sent to die and I will cancel our engagement this instant."
MinHo. He looks stunned in surprise by what he says. "Explain..."
"My brother was taken away along with other humans. I was told the army has been gathering humans all over to send them to die at the borders, tell me where he was sent!"
MinHo. It all sounds new to him. The matter about humans. "I cant know, I'm not working for the ministry of War and I have a feeling this matter will require an investigation."
Tero simply jumps down from his window, in an ever worse mental state than before speaking to MinHo.
He heads straight to the temple to get his information, he makes a mess, he hurts many priests until they point him at the man from the ministry of War who took them away.
He goes to his home, he tortures him until he tells him where those humans were sent to and in the end, he kills him and sets his whole house on fire.
He is a sociopath and can easily turn into a death machine when triggered. He heads to the camp he was revealed.
Due to the confusion, darkness and stress, nobody even pays attention to him, as he is obviously not a tribesman. He is even wearing the camp uniform and is all covered in the blood of the people he hurt to get there.
"Bang-ui!" he calls, while searching among the soldiers. "Bang-ui!"
He keeps searching until he spots Togon. The fact he looks identical to MoonBin catches his eye. He is sat on the ground and is crying while holding some sort of necklace.
As Tero moves his gaze on the corpse next to Togon, he almost gets a stroke. "Aniyo-o..." He approaches and falls on his knees when he realises that he didn't see wrong.
"ANIYO!" he shouts out with all of his anger and frustration and despair combined.
He grabs TaMu by the robe and starts to shake him harder and harder. "Wake up, wake up, you must wake up now! I order you to take up!" He hits him, he shakes him more and even tried to reanimate him, but an arrow through the neck and one through the heart make it quite hard for a corpse, dead since over an hour, to open its eyes.
"Aniyo..." he murmurs one more time and suddenly takes TaMu's corpse on his back and just runs away with it, not caring if the soldiers try to stop him or even shoot arrows at him.
He places TaMu's corpse on the ground and kneels next to him. "You can wake up now, we are far away from them. They all think you are dead, it's safe. They won't look for you anymore..." But of course no answer.
"Bang-ui... why don't you listen to your hyung...? You came a long way to find me and now you won't listen to me?!" He is crying without a stop, because he knows he is dead and there is nothing that can be done to fix it.
He leans his head against his chest. "You can't do this. I forbid you... you can't go, YOU CAN'T, ANIYO, YOU MUST DO AS I SAY!"
Hours pass.
Before dawn, he returns to the camp, alone. He is still covered in dryed blood, he didn't even bother to clean himself a little in all that time. Even the blade of his old katana is dirty of blood, as well as his uniform of the training camp.
