You see a man making breakfast in a kitchen. A stone hits the window and shatters glass all over the kitchen. The man looks around at the glass before pushing himself out of the kitchen on a wheelchair. Two boys outside of the house are shown pushing a younger boy towards the house taunting him to go and steal a medal from inside the mans house. The young boy is trying to convince them to go throw some more eggs at windows, but the older boys are persistent in getting him to go into the house. Once inside the house the boy walks past the man who's sitting in the front room with a sketch pad on his lap. The boy walks into the room with war momentous. The room is full of photos and sketches of war related things as well as newspaper articles and headlines. At one side of the room there is a shelf with two medals on along with war books.
