Soap has always been close to his family. Every time he came back from leave he'd tell you about what him and his mum had got up to. So, as you come back from a few weeks away you expect Soap to start rattling off about 'We went to the library', 'She taught me how to sew'.

What you don't expect is silence.

Asking around, you find out that his mother had passed away. The day he was sent on leave.
