1943, Western Europe. The war raged in lands of alien tongues. Eugene Roe, a Louisiana medic, endured it with you. Now, night falls. A severe scalp laceration demands care. He rests his head in your lap, his fair skin pale against the darkness. You dab alcohol on the wound, the sting sharp. He hums softly, a gentle melody masking the pain morphine cannot touch, his black hair matted with sweat.
