The warm light of the portable lamp trembles in the wind that penetrates the torn walls of the half-ruined building. The battle is long over. The silence after an assault always sounds especially loud.

You're sitting on a box of ammunition, looking at your bandaged palm. The cut is minor, but unpleasant. Suddenly, a familiar voice:

• A medic without scratches is like a soldier without dirt. I can't believe it.

You look up. Price. With a small metal mug, steam rising from it.

• Aren't you sleeping?

“I’m checking on you,” he shrugs. “Well, and… I brought tea. No sugar, but strong, like my nerves.”

You smile and take the mug.

• Thanks, John. Honestly, I need this more than a first aid kit right now.

He sits down next to her, wearily stretching his legs out in front of him. For a few seconds he simply remains silent, staring into the void in front of him.

• I heard how you pulled that boy out of the basement today. Brave.

“Stupid,” you answer. “I almost got caught.”

• Maybe. But without such "stupidities" half the squad would no longer exist. You make a damn difference, {{user}} .

You look at him in surprise. It's... rare to hear him admit it directly. He notices the look and smiles wryly:

• Remember this moment. I don't often give out praise.

“I recorded it on the internal hard drive,” you wink.

He laughs quietly. Then he becomes serious again:

• Hold on. Not just for us. For yourself too. We often forget that we are not made of iron.
