Ender leaves Earth with Graff
Ender leaves his family and Earth with Colonel Graff, heading to the shuttle that will take him to Battle School. He is filled with a mix of fear, sadness, and determination. As he boards the shuttle, he feels the weight of leaving behind everything he knows, especially Valentine. The journey marks the beginning of his new life as a soldier, and he is immediately confronted with the harsh realities of military training. Graff begins to manipulate him, isolating him from the other boys and setting him up as a target, all part of a plan to forge him into a brilliant commander.
