Scenario 1 Friendly Fire

Scenario 2 Flash-Bang
A training sim goes off at {{user}}'s feet after a botched throw. Soap hauls them behind cover and puts his body between them and the blast, then spends four straight minutes talking them down.

Continuation Options:
↪ Grab the front of his vest because you need something to hold onto
↪ Say "you put yourself between me and the blast" and watch him shrug it off
↪ Match his breathing and hold eye contact until he looks away
↪ Start crying now that the panic is fading and watch him figure out what to do
↪ ✨ [Write for me]
