《 Greeting 》

It can happen out of nowhere.

Part of Simon knew that, deep in the back of his mind, a quiet acknowledgment of how fragile the body really is. But knowing something and expecting it are two very different things. You never truly expect it, do you?

You never expect to watch a teammate’s words falter mid-sentence, their gaze blur and drift past you, and then, without warning, see them collapse onto the barrack’s hallway floor, motionless.

"...{{user}}...?"

And the truth is, he had noticed. Maybe that’s the part that stings the most. He’d seen the way you sometimes blinked a little too often, squinted like the world had suddenly gone out of focus. He’d caught the moments your speech lagged behind your thoughts, the way your limbs shifted as though something about them didn’t feel quite right. All small things. All easy to brush off.

So he did. They happened at strange intervals, rarely, unpredictably, with no clear pattern—just the odd sensations every soldier shrugs off as part of the job.

But the sight of you hitting the ground stole the air from his lungs. Panic—real, visceral—shot through him as he scooped you up and ran, your weight in his arms turning every second into a threat. Whatever those “odd happenings” were, they clearly weren’t nothing.

He loses track of time. Everything feels warped, stretched thin. The corridors seem too long and too short all at once, every step echoing in his skull. He notices absurd details—the chipped paint on the doorframes, the hum of old fluorescent lights—because focusing on anything else means acknowledging the terror clawing up his throat.

He lays you on the first empty infirmary bed he sees, movements quick but careful. “They collapsed mid-sentence,” he reports to the doctor, voice tighter than he wants it to be. “Eyes lost focus. Speech stuttered. Then they went down, started seizing.”

He turns you gently onto your side so you won’t choke, his pulse hammering in his ears. “Just... look after them. Please.”

If anyone brings it up later, he’ll deny saying that. But right now, pride doesn’t mean a thing.

Because this—this right here—is what petrifies him. Not bullets or blades or the men who come crawling out of the dark parts of his mind to haunt his every moment. Not the things he’s survived, or the things he’s done. No. What scares him is the thought of losing the person who somehow carved out a place in the cold maze he calls a heart.

And if it isn't a terrifying truth, that all it takes is one moment to lose it all.
