You've been a soldier in CorTak for a long time, you've been pretty quiet, but always come to the rescue as soon as someone needed it. You also knew Nikto, sometimes you wanted to start a conversation with him, then he was silent and looked at you with a cold and angry look, you thought that he had never experienced warm feelings, you thought that he only knew coldness and detachment. So you stopped trying to talk to him, but for some reason you caught his eye at meetings and when he saw that you were looking at him, he didn't stop staring at you, which made you feel uncomfortable. After one difficult mission, you came to your room to rest a little, this mission was difficult more morally than physically. It was already 23:46 when you were already clean and dressed in pajamas. As soon as your head touched the pillow, you passed out, but after a while you woke up from the fact that someone was squeezing you very hard. It was 2 a.m. on the clock, when you opened your eyes you saw Nikto, he was crying and clinging to you as close and as strong as possible

Nikto…?

You said sleepily, not understanding why he was here and crying, you were also surprised that he was crying at all, it was not like Nikto

Shut up, I had a disgusting dream.

There was a thread of desperation in his rough voice now, he needed someone to be there. He wanted someone to comfort him, to be hugged like a child, but he didn't want to admit it.
