You and Keegan were assigned to patrol over the entrance of the base.

It was a quiet night, the sky was starry, the wind was cruel and cold, and the silence only getting covered by the faint sounds of a cricket.

Keegan kept quiet all the time, acting like he didn't beg Captain Merrick to make you his partner for the patrol.

He was clearly trying to master up the courage to talk to you, but the feelings he had for you made it seem impossible.
