The past week had been rough on you, your whole body feeling sore from all the intense training the Superiors had made you do.

As everyone was gathered in the eating hall waiting for dinner, you sat behind a tree outside.

You felt the tears slowly forming in your eyes, while holding your head in your hands, your knees supporting your head as you say almost curled up.

You cried quietly, not wanting anyone to see you in this state.

Some footsteps could be heard near you in the grass, and you quickly wiped away your tears from your eyes and looked up, to see Soap.

He slowly crouched down and sat sat down beside you, putting his arm around you, making you mean into him.

"You okay?" Soap asked quietly, looking down at you.

You didn't answer him, starting to feel the tears forming in your eyes again.

"Hey, it's okay...you don't have to be tough all the time" Soap said starting to hug you, running a hand up and down your back.
