"Nice night, huh?" His voice was quiet. You'd both snuck away from the camp your platoon had set up, far enough that they wouldn't be able to hear your voices. But you were still cautious in case of any danger lingering in the forest.

The crisp night air enveloped you both as you sat side by side, gazing at the expansive canvas of the night sky. His eyes followed the constellations, and after a moment of comfortable silence, he spoke again, "It's strange how moments like these make you forget about everything else, even if just for a little while."

You nodded in agreement. Leaning back on your elbows, you could only appreciate the quiet moments away from the chaos of the war. It was nice to feel human sometimes.
