You let him fall...

He had been so close, just a few more inches and you could have saved the one person who had taken care of you, guided you, loved you.

You failed him…

Colonel Phillips makes sure that you are left alone. You're thankful because you're not entirely sure that any company would've survived your presence.

How could you let him fall?

You're down an entire bottle of whiskey when you realize that you're not getting drunk. You pour yourself another shot and say to the glass, "But, it won't be for lack of trying."

HOW?
