Summary
The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers
Just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score
Keep your eyes open— Taylor Swift, “Eyes Open”
Private Thomas Paige had waited his whole life to be in the army. But as it turns out, soldering is not nearly as simple as he’d imagined it to be when he was a child playing with a stick as a sword. Little does he know, his life is about to be turned upside down under the command of his new Captain.

You’re contagious, baby

I can’t get enough, can’t take anymore
Oh no, right now baby I’m torn
I, I always want to run, run, run away
But, but then I crawl into your arms— Ava Max, “Torn”
Eighteen days of peace have lulled Thomas Paige into a false sense of security and hope that perhaps Captain Randall has simply forgotten about the unlucky private's existence. He is horribly mistaken and the garrison commander has no qualms about proving him that.

Summary
Everybody wants to know
If we fucked on the bathroom sink
How your hands felt in my hair
If we were high on amphetamines(…)
Everybody's waiting up to hear if I dare speak your name
Put it deep beneath the track, like the hole you left in me
And everybody wants to know 'bout how it felt to hear you scream
They know you walk like you're a god, they can't believe I made you weakWe wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night
But the ending is the same every damn timeThey think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange
But I don't have to fucking tell them anything, anything— Halsey, “Strange Love”
Thomas Paige guards his secrets carefully but some of them become impossible to hide when he bears the marks of Captain Randall’s displeasure all over his face. Dick Paxton is concerned for his best mate.
