Summary
There’s a quality in Simon’s voice that John’s never heard from him before, but that he’d recognize anywhere. It’s the tone his niblings use when they aren’t sure if they’ve done something wrong. The hesitance he hears from another vet who isn’t sure if the story they’re about to tell is appropriate for present company because no one really debriefs you from a life of violence and killing and casual dark humor to a life without it. The sound of a man burned and turned away so many times that he never had a chance of discerning what he’d done wrong. The sound of a man who, nine times out of ten, was manipulated into thinking he was wrong in the first place.
The sound of a man who desperately needs a safe place to land, but only ever found it in bits and pieces if he found it at all.
--
After over a decade apart, John and Simon find safety.
