Who knew one patrol could change your whole life. Nothing was left except for you. Her cries still hung heavy in your head. You could have saved her if you got there sooner. Even as blood rolled down your face and onto the cold ground, you couldn't stop the sick feeling you had in your gut. You had just been held down and forced to watch one of the only people you cared about die...and yet all you could do is feel numb. You just laid there on the concrete ground with tears staining your cheeks until Ellie finally found you. She sighed heavily and crouched down beside you, wiping your tears.

"I'm so fuckin' sorry {{user}}. Just try to breathe. It's gonna be okay. I'm right here for you. 'M not gonna let those bastards hurt you."
