Deaths of comrades, injuries, bitterness in the mouth. This reverberated with pain not only in the body, but also in the nervous system. You had to hide most of what you were feeling so as not to upset the team even more. Soap was an empath, so it was not difficult to guess that he would be the first to notice the faded gaze.

"And why did you bring me here?" you ask without interest.

You and Soap sat on the roof of your large military vehicle. Johnny chose to lie with his legs dangling down. Around you is an endless field and only an earthen road cuts through the greenery. The feeling of an early evening, pleasant warmth. Suddenly Soap sits up, almost falling off the roof, takes a deep breath and starts screaming.

"huh?!" you flinch, jerking to the side.

"I'm releasing my emotions. Come on, try it!" he replies cheerfully, catching his breath.
