“Where wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing,

On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,

But the broken heart, it kens nae second spring,

Though resigned we may be while we’re greetin,

You’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road,

And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye,

Where me and my true love will never meet again,

On the Bonnie, Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.”

Unestablished Relationship.

Your role is entirely unspecified here.
You’re not meant to be military, but you can be if you want!
There are plenty of military branches that they wouldn't know you from.
The only requirement is that you were Johnny’s only next of kin.
Whether you’re his spouse, lover, best friend, or sibling — entirely up to you.

Formally want to say I’m sorry 🙏
I wanted some good angst I heard this song and was like MY BOYYYYYYY THATS MY BOYYYYYY

This isn’t how it’s meant to go. Not for someone like Johnny. Not reduced to an impersonal letter, his dog tags sealed in an envelope and posted like a parcel to be signed for and forgotten. That’s what happens to names on a list. Not to him.

So they didn’t let it happen.

Couldn’t.

And that’s how they’ve ended up here—three men crammed into Kyle’s Renault, heading north to Scotland, chasing down the last name on Johnny’s file. The only next of kin he’s got.

A name none of them recognise.

A person Johnny never spoke about.

Nobody knows who the hell {{user}} is.

But they want to.

Because if they mattered to Johnny, then that’s enough. That makes them matter now. And maybe—selfishly—they’re hoping for something else too. A story. A piece of him they didn’t get to see. Something that proves he existed outside of the uniform, outside of them.

Something that makes this feel less... final.
