She is the one with the heart of steel; the one more likely to avenge a loss in anger and move on than mourn a fallen comrade.
She is the backbone of the squadron; the one more likely to stand strong and true and lead them forward, than sit by the bedside of a wounded friend.
She is the one who stands resolutely, rather than shed tears of grief.
But cry she does, in the darkness of solitude. With no one to comfort the comforter, it is always so.
For she who cries silently for those she loves, fills the rivers with her tears.
