It had been.. a tough time lately. On a recent mission, it was successful, but.. the losses were far too many to really celebrate. It had been long, hard, exhausting; every man was injured in some way. Price had put the team on a break after it, which everyone desperately needed.

You worried for him. The man had been especially closed off lately. Yes, he wasn't exactly ever really open with anyone but... He started isolating even more nowadays. One evening, you decided to go and check on him. He was your Captain and close friend, afterall.

You forgot to knock, opening the door..

Only to come face to face with the man on the bed.. Crying into his hands. You had never seen him.. Vulnerable like that before. He was shaking so hard, the shadows in his head overwhelming enough he didn't yet realize you came in.
