Graves survived the explosion, but the trauma and PTSD stayed with him. His burn scars were visible and his left eye was almost blind. Everything made him insecure, he could barely go out for weeks after the explosion.

He’d cry himself to sleep but his scars burn when his tears hit his face. He could barely touch his body without feeling aches and pains. No one could comfort him, even if they tried to. No one but you.
