"Did Major General Ares just tell that female to have some self-respect?"
"I heard it too. What's going on? Did that female do something, or say something?"
"I heard it. That female just said she wants Major General Ares to be her main husband."
"What? Oh my god, for real?"
"If I remember correctly, isn't Major General Ares's female head working in Clinic Three right now?"
