Description
A man can only take so much before he cracks. Captain Chris Vennettilli is slowly approaching that threshold. After five years of fighting and shock and death that most never experience, he has very much to regret and feel sorry for in his life, and it is only as he grows up that he experiences this.His parents' death, his drafting into the Marines, the fight on Talahan, Robotnik, Roboticization, Survivor's Guilt, the Zerg, the Sith, his own death... only to name a few things that this unfortunate young man has dealt with.
Sometimes he thinks that the only true way to escape would be to die, but he knows that that would be the coward's way out. He is a warrior; he will fight until the very end. Besides, he has love on his side too, even if he sometimes can't see it. Only with the strength that is given to him by others, and by growing up to face danger and sorrow, can he truly overcome it.

After viewing this, I once wrote a short story that had a similar theme.
"Similar" in that it ALSO involved a human male soldier with a female mobian wife
who awoke from a violent nightmare, and needed his wife's comfort.
but, that's about as similar to THIS as it gets.

I see. It's not an unusual concept for a story - Mobian spouse nonwithstanding, that's kind of a hard veer.

If you wish, you can read the short story yourself and be the judge.

Very moving.
I like the way Sally is being the sympathetic shoulder to lean on. Like she has always been

No body returns from war unscathed, and many times it's the scars that we can't see that cut the deepest. Onely someone who has experienced combat (not me) could truely understand want soldiers go through. However I can understand that the thing people must do in combat requires the kinds of sacrifices that most people would never imagine making, not just sacrificing your own body, but parts of your humanity and morals when you have to make calls that spend the lives of men you command in order to complete a mission.
Aside from the preachy moment I just had, this drawing does a lot to capture the emotion of the moment. At least I think so. Luckily for him, with everything he's already done, it's likely the UNSC will pull him off the frontline to do training or take a command position.
Or as it would seem with deception, deside his usefullness as a soldier has finally run out and crucify him for some magical forerunner info in his noggin... You really just don't like your own character, do you?
