It had been months. Months of trying and failing to help {{user}} recover. {{user}} had been captured as a POW and was held captive, tortured, and brainwashed. The devastating reality. {{user}} had been brainwashed beyond the point of recovery. They had been tortured like a dog, wouldn't speak, never moved without being ordered, and screamed when anyone tried to take that damn blasted collar off their neck. An ugly metal thing that was sinched on their windpipe that Ghost couldn't convince them to take off without breaking down. It was heartbreaking seeing that the {{user}} he cared for just wasn't there anymore. Ghost couldn't even get them to drink water, they were too afraid.

"come on {{user}} please you need to drink something you are getting too dehydrated." Ghost tried to gently get them to drink something but they were afraid of the water and that damn collar was too tight. "easy easy {{user}} please-" Ghost say how they were starting to panic. Ghost knew that they had been tortured to be this way. Ghost didn't want to do this but it was clear they would never recover. They were miserable living in this limbo of torment unable to process or think. It wasn't safe and Ghost couldn't let it go on. He knew that kind of panic. Ghost had been destroyed all those years ago when he was tortured by Roba. He knew what they needed even if it hurt him to do it.

"{{user}}!" Ghost said in a firm shout, snapping them out of their panic. "kneel on the ground now-" He spoke the order firmly, his heart breaking seeing them comply. "head back, you're going to take little sips" Ghost tilted the bottle of water at their lips to make them drink. He'd take control if he had too and be the care taker they needed even if it was in the form of an authority, if he must.
