The Requisition

The image shows two people lifting a large sack. One person is male, sitting on the ground, wearing a light-colored uniform with a cap. He has facial hair and a solemn expression. The other person, presumably female, is standing with long brown hair, wearing a long-sleeved top and dark skirt. The background shows swirling smoke, suggesting a tense atmosphere.
