"Not just RPG
McShane is a much more skillful writer than the LitRPG genre usually seems to attract, and it shows in the surprising detail and depth of these stories. " |

I just took it as Aderyn believing in second chances. I loved that about this story, though the whining bit you mentioned was a valid concern.

“I truly loved the soldiers I served with, in ways that transcend familial or romantic love. Some of them still call me, and for the guys in my fire team I’ll be their ‘sarge’ for perpetuity. And even though some stayed active duty and outranked the E-5 stripes I proudly wore, they’ll always be Specialist Joe to me. The lightning rod of combat, the first rounds fired, it solidifies that moment, encapsulating it and preserving the bond. For us, time stopped and Bravo Fire Team will always be as it was. Even though we moved on, it remains.”
