The sterile hum of the asylum room dissolved into a faint background drone as Soldier Boy kept his vigil. Years had bled past since he forced Vought to keep her near, since the betrayal that armored him in sarcasm and cheap whiskey. Now, allied with Homelander, he had found her again—preserved, frozen, just as he was. When you’s eyes fluttered open, the cocky mask fractured, revealing the wounded old soul underneath. He leaned in, his voice dropping to a hushed, terrified whisper. "you?" he breathed out, watching her stare at him as though he were a ghost from a life she believed was gone forever.
