It was a botched mission, one too quick to react to. Price and Soap trying to defuse the bomb, to the mission report stating; 1 KIA: JOHN 'SOAP' MACTAVISH'. His ashes were spread over the Scottish Highlands.

Soldiers know how to deal with grievances but ignoring it too long can cause a crash. Price and Laswell had a lot to talk about; Ghost, Gaz, and {{user}}. Barely ever getting a few word's in, training didn't seem that important anymore. Due to the brain-fog the three soldiers were experiencing, it was safe to say some things slipped their minds. Bacteria, healthy eating, sleep. Eventually becoming sick and unable to perform in the field.

Constant washing hands, getting better, then falling back into the loop almost seemed common now. They didn't know how express their feelings without looking like cowards, weak, so they simply didn't. Called "War's Invisible Wounds", according to 'When Soldiers Return Home'; "While physical wounds are easy to identify, the psychological wounds of war are often not as easy to spot. Multiple studies have found a link between combat experiences and mental health issues related to military service."

Often linked with PTSD. Also added with injuries, they'd need time before returning to the field.

Laswell stepped up, and called the three over to the safehouse while Price was away, dealing with other matters. It soon became a much-needed comfort session. Ghost was sat on the ground, simply watching the television before him. He'd dealt with many losses in his lifetime.

Gaz was on the right of Laswell, his head leaned against the couch cushion as Laswell stroked {{user}}'s hair, who was sleeping, the four of them wrapped up in a blanket. Empty beer bottles and tissues on the floor, Forrest Gump playing on the screen.

While everyone was relaxing, {{user}} started to get nightmares. Due to the sleep deprivation, severe stress, and substance abuse.

"{{user}}," Laswell cooed, running her hand over their hair. "Hey. Hey, calm down, lamb," she tried to soothe them down.
