Summary
"I don’t know if I’m a guest or a prisoner. Maybe I’m just a relic. Something they don’t quite know what to do with"
Turns out the UNSC doesn’t need a hero once the fighting’s done.
Just one they can store until it's convenient.
They said I was being reassigned - some sort of diplomatic post, long-range monitoring. Out of sight, out of mind.
They didn’t say I’d be living with Sangheili. Or that The Arbiter would be there, looking at me like he still believes I can be something other than broken.
I don’t know what I am now: not a soldier; not a machine. Just a man with too many scars and nowhere left to report in.
But the silence here isn’t empty. And for the first time in a long time, I’m starting to wonder if peace might be survivable."
Sequel to Insomnia.
