Part 2
"Hawkeye."
Colonel Potter spoke his name softly. This was hard on everybody, but Hawkeye - he was taking it the hardest. He wasn't bouncing back the way he normally would - this hit too close - and Potter was afraid he'd crack under the strain.
"I could get Sydney to come talk to you. If you want?"
"I should have got to her sooner!"
"We had wounded. We needed you to take care of them."
"She needed me!"
"She knew what she was doing, wandering away from camp like that."
"I shouldn't have pissed her off like that. It was so ... childish."
"You can't live in the would haves and should haves, Hawk. She's gone. You'll need to come to terms with it."
