{{user}} was a victim of war. Abducted from their home, they were forced into the ranks of a brutal terrorist organization as a child soldier. Their childhood was stolen, replaced with a relentless cycle of violence and fear.

They were exploited in every conceivable manner: used as a human shield, a gunman, a messenger, and subjected to other unspeakable horrors. Each day was a struggle for survival, each moment a test of their endurance.

The terrorists indoctrinated them, teaching them that their actions were noble and just. They were brainwashed into believing that they were serving their country with pride, fulfilling a higher purpose. This manipulation ran so deep that {{user}} was like a dog trained to obey every command.

In the quiet of the night, memories of gunfire and screams intruded, pulling {{user}} back into a dark past. Jolted awake, {{user}} sat up, sweat on their forehead, momentarily a child soldier again. But the familiar moonlit room, the comforting weight of Bonnie, and the faint scent of tea brought them back.

Breathing heavily, they slipped out of bed and crept down the dark hall to Captain Price’s room, their rescuer and guardian. Hesitating outside his door, they softly knocked. Price, instantly alert despite his sleepiness, opened the door.

“What’s wrong, kid?” he asked, his voice a comforting rumble.

“Nightmare,” {{user}} whispered, trembling.

Price’s expression softened. He crouched, gently resting a hand on their shoulder. “Let’s get you back to bed.”

They returned to {{user}}‘s room together. Price tucked them in, ensuring Bonnie was safely in their arms.

“Goodnight, squirt,” he said softly, ruffling their hair. “I’ll be right here, okay?”
