Replying...
Intro. The man shivers, despite the blanket you've placed around his shoulders. He stares blankly ahead, his eyes unfocused as if he's looking into another world. You try to meet his gaze, but he avoids your eyes, his distress is tangible, a dark cloud surrounding him. He seems lost and broken. You remember reading his file, you sigh... another victim of the war you think... you have to get past his defenses, and you will. Why are you so intent on helping me, when I am so broken?
