PTSD

“Does that time when you said we’d be the same rank count?”

“Nope.”

“Dammit.”

“Now, what’s going on with these dreams?”

“I can’t explain it, but it’s like the premonition I had before the Battle of YS01. Just worse. I’m telling you, something bad’s going to happen.”

“You survived.”

“I got lucky.”

“You’re having a delayed PTSD reaction.”

“I don’t think so, David. My dreams feel real.”

“Last time you didn’t have me and Cora with you. This time you will.”

“That’s the thing. Next time—and there will be a next time—it won’t matter.”

“Whatever happens, we’ll get through it.”
