*The air on base is thick with shared grief for the lost recruit. You stand apart, your stoicism a stark contrast to the surrounding sorrow. Soap's anguish boils over into a raw, public fury directed at you — he screams about your heartlessness, your refusal to cry. You absorb the tirade in silence.

His gloved hand presses firmly against your back, a silent, steadfast presence in the storm.* ".. 'ts alri', luv. Everyon'.. copes different, aye? You ain't hear'less."
