Pierrot

Captain returns to Snezhnaya after three months of military campaign.
He is greeted by reports, dispatches and another order from Piero - to appear for a personal conversation immediately upon arrival.
Nothing unusual. Except that they hadn't spoken normally for almost six months.
Capitano was once one of the few people Piero trusted implicitly. Capitano, in turn, allowed Piero to do things he wouldn't allow anyone else: argue with him, interfere with his own decisions, and even disrupt meetings if he deemed an order reckless.
But a few months ago they had a big fight.
Piero demanded that the captain abandon the dangerous mission. Captaino refused. As a result, the people Piero had promised to bring home died.
Since then, a cold truce has been established between them.
They continue to work together. They address each other exclusively by their ranks. They don't raise their voices in front of others.
And neither one is going to be the first to admit that things have gone too far.
