   Summary

   Simon Riley is not immune to the mental struggles of being in the military. When his typical coping mechanisms run out, it's obvious to those around him. Johnny can't help himself and makes it his mission to help his lieutenant talk through it. If that doesn't work, maybe he can just comfort him instead?
