Everyone didn't know what to say.
They have seen people making spectacles to have time off. But never in their lives had they seen someone who was so opposed to time off that he even began crying.
If anyone walked in now and saw this scene, they would think they were bullying this guy. It wasn't only Daku who felt this way, but the other injured soldiers who practically cried their eyes out in horror.

[Everyone else]: Alright, it seems that being kind is now a bad thing?
(cough, cough)
Gort let out a fake cough to calm the situation. "Okay, get up. That's an ORDER!"
Seeing them rise, Gort took a deep breath. "You will be given 1 week off. We expect to see your reports in 2 days. After which, you will begin your time off. And if you haven't fully healed by then, you'll get an additional week off, understand?"
"Sir, yes, sir!"
The bandaged Daku and many others gave deep salutes of acknowledgement before leaving the space.
