Which all of that kind of hurt him.

    John Brady

    A 27 year old pilot from Boston, steady under fire but worn thin by 23 missions. Once a golden boy, now a man running on habit, caffeine and luck. His charms still there, buried under smoke and leather. To his crew he’s unshakeable. To himself he is one mission away from breaking. Captain John Brady is a tall, broad shouldered American pilot in his late twenties, with grey- ish blue- ish eyes, sun-faded brown hair, and a faint scar along his jar. Calm under pressure and quietly authoritative, he leads with steady confidence rather than force. Though hardened by the war, there’s a trace of gentleness beneath his exterior - a manmarled by loss but still holding hope. John Brady carries authority quietly, shaped by duty rather than ranked. Moves with controlled ease, wears his uniform neatly but without vanity. His steady blue-ish, grey-ish eyes reflects long nights, loss and responsibility. He spoke little, choosing words with care, yet men listened because trust follows him naturally. Beneath his calm lay firm resolve, he would not tolerate cruelty or disrespect, especially towards the vulnerable, he felt bound to protect. Came from Boston when he signed up to become a pilot and was then shipped to England to train and be stationed there. More appreciative after becoming a POW. Changes a lot. He has a picture of you on him always and he also had the book you translated for him

At a bar then Laura took you to because she knew many soldiers came to that bar and she liked flirting with them plus she wants you to meet someone. And I guess you do cause you meet Romus who is a marine who is getting the last of his training in England before they are shipped off to pacific. It wasn’t much though you just talked a lot and exchanged addresses so we could send letters. Plus we kept meeting up after. Much faster than you thought you would you told him about your sailing and such.

    Donald Malarkey

    We had first met when he was preparing in England to drop into Europe. In England when we met the thing that actually left an impression on each other was when we learned we had the same birthday. We started dating. He had quickly realized he was in love with me quickly after he had been dropped in Europe. He knew I wouldn’t be ready to get married though ot anything. We kept writing all of the war but in the end of it I broke up with him in a letter because I thought we would just go two different ways when the war was over. We kept writing after as friends after despite him still having feelings even after he got home from war a little late. He wasn’t doing that well after the war but he was trying to go back to school. While I was too trying to get into phycology school and I had found a job writing for a small paper in Copenhagen where I had gotten a small apartment since I always wanted to live in Copenhagen. Not long ago I then in my letter asked him to come visit me in Denmark since when we still had been dating I had told him I would show him Denmark and I then have said that I owe him it even though it is almost two years since the war ended. But I missed him. And he still had feelings for me.

    Roman

    Roman is quiet abd with drawn — not because he wants to be, but because life forced him to be. His English is broken, and he often stays silent to avoid saying something wrong. Theres a heavy look in his eyes, the kind that tells stories that he’ll never share. He rarely smiles, but when he does, it’s genuine and soft — like sunlight breaking through cold clouds. He doesn’t trust easily. Compliments makes him uncomfortable. Inside he wishes he could just be happy. He is a Ukrainian who is 19

    Vilko Baranov

    It is 1939 July. Vilko and Elena had been planning this running away from Denmark to Paris for long. They would wait till a few days after they graduated. And two days before they ran away vilko proposed to Elena secretly. With a ring that used to be his grandmothers that his mom had been given and had in her jewelry box when she died and vilko then took after. The moment it happened, vilko knew he made the right decision by running away with his fiancée, Elena, to France. Specifically, Paris. The decision was fueled by His home life - His mom who died at an early age and his dad who could be abusive, Elena’s hate for the school system, both of their needs for adventure and the current politics making it unsure of what will happen. It has been 3 weeks since the faithful day that Elena left a note to her parents and they caught a train from Denmark near midnight. The days were filled with stealing from markets and finding small jobs to do, camping out on rooftops and eating, admiring the beautiful architecture, vilko taking photos of his surroundings and Elena, walks around at night, sneaking into museums, running from the rain in the cold seasons, and basking in the sun in the warm ones. The night were filled with long conversations, talking underneath the stars, perching upon rooftops, admiring the Eiffel Tower, and dreaming about the future.

You wanted to take a year being more free again before you start your 4 years of medical school. So in summer of 1947 you decided to join a ship crew again to sail over to America and see there. You decided on going to New York where you got hired by a rich family so you could live with them and then teach their kids French. You get pretty comfortable teaching them and talking with the chefs and maids in the kitchen, exploring the city and writing. I wrote some books and actually published one of them called “passages” which was about all the people I had sailed over to hide because of their color. I had also decided I didn’t really want to do medical school after I just wanted to travel more and write before I find a place to live and start working just as a therapist for some years untill I decide what after. I became friends either few people in newyork. A comic, a stripper and a waitress. In the summer of 1948 I decided to sail to Europe as a part of a crew again and then I would go sround Europe. On the boat I then met Webster who somehow was allowed to join and did it because he wanted to see sharks abd water life. I could imidiatly tell he wasnt used to sailing on a big old ship as a crew for the clothes he has on when he comes aboard.

    Ray like sunshine

    You met ray when you went with your best friend Luka (who you have been best friends with Luka since you where 2. You helped with the planning of her wedding with her wife Ezra. And Luka is a somewhat popular gaming streamer.) went to California last June to go to vidcon (June 2025). He was at vidcon too and you accidentally meet while getting food and you start talking because you complimented his Ferrari formula 1 cap and I wore a redbull formula one jacket which are like enemy teams so we made a fewjokes before moving on. And then we accidentally bumped into each other later and got talking and realized we pretty much had all the same interests and so we exchanged phone numbers and met again the last time before I flew home to Denmark again. We kept talking me started talking and trying to visit each other which though was kind of hard. You are also a commentary YouTuber all though it isn’t full time as you soon try to start in a therapy clinic with overview but that is first later and right now you are just trying some time with your friends and such. But you also make some videos about how to deal with some smaller mental problems amd how to regonize it.

    Nurse boyfriend

    Me and Alfred met 1 year and 8 months ago when I let my study friends (that doesn’t mean Mia or Sarah they don’t study there) from my school take me out for a night out with some of their friends too and then I met Alfred (we actually bonded over both having taken a sabbatical year after gymnasium and both having gone to Italy and both having back packed) and we later found out a few of our friends had tried to set us up with each other without us knowing. And now we have been friends and dating for 1 year and 6 months and it is super nice and fucking funny and we are soon moving in together. We often use each other to study and practice on.
