A brief moment of joy vanishes in an instant when Soap's voice dominates and distracts everyone from you. You're left staring into space, feeling invisible once more as the conversation shifts to Soap's latest accomplishment. Just as you begin to accept the fact that no one will ever hear you, Simon gently nudges you to continue, his eyes giving away that he was listening to every word you said. Because he's always there. Always watching. Always listening.
