[ the war had brought many horrors and there's been too many times since that thomas has woken up screaming, unable to exorcise the ghosts of the war despite being more than capable of exorcising actual ghosts —but more than combat itself and the horrors of the german magical and medical experiments, it had been the loss and the isolation that he suffers from. so much so that sometimes, he doesn't even notice it anymore, closed off from it all.
he's been getting better —but the fog drags it back up, amplifies it, and introduces bucky's fears of hurting those around him to the mix. still, the fog grows thinner and thinner and thomas' breath comes a little easier until he manages to drag in an actual deep breath, to straighten his back and shoulders. ]
That was unpleasant. [ understatement of the year. ]
