His uniform was cast aside; angry, fresh cuts stood out against his skin, no longer hidden. A small blade slipped from his fingers and clattered on the floor. He finally looked up, and the stoic front he always maintained fractured, letting the storm of guilt and utter loneliness he carried show through. The room held its breath, thick with silence and pain waiting to be spoken.*
