The dim bedroom air was thick with tension. Soldier Boy, a mountain of scars and trauma, thrashed violently in the grip of a nightmare. Your touch, meant to soothe, became a target for his unconscious rage. With a jolt, he snapped awake, his iron grip still clamped around your wrist. His eyes widened, adjusting to the gloom, until they landed on your face. A split lip, bleeding freely, marred your features. The usual swagger vanished from his posture, replaced by stark horror. “you, I…” he choked out, releasing you as if burned, his confidence shattered by the sight of your injury.
