Summary
Gale escapes from the march without Bucky and carries immense guilt and shame for his actions. He is haunted by the fact that he doesn’t know if Bucky is dead or alive. He returns to Thorpe Abbotts a shell of himself, and the perfect Gale Cleven begins to unravel. He stops eating, he can’t sleep, he starts drinking, smoking and gambling. He is in free fall with no Bucky there to catch him. Gale is trapped inside his worst nightmare – the very real possibility that Bucky could be dead while he’s alive and becoming just like his father.

Summary
While numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of captivity on other classes of vertebrates, very few studies have investigated the effects of captivity and its related stresses on amphibians. Chronic stress results in elevated levels of corticosterone (CORT) released from the adrenocortical cells, which in turn result in hyperglycemia, anorexia, and changes in behavior.

Summary
“I don’t know how to keep doing this.”
It’s quiet. So quiet Bucky almost misses it. Gale’s voice is a rasp, barely there, like it’s fighting him on the way out.
“I don’t know how to keep sending them up knowing not all of them are coming back. I can’t…I can’t keep looking those boys in the eye and telling them they’re doing a good job when I’ve got to write their letters home next week.”
Bucky exhales, soft.

Summary
John's alive—brutally so, a stark contrast to the memory of a man torn in half on their wing. At that moment, death hadn't felt human. Blood frozen at altitude, turning remains to wax figures. Just a torso. Limbs. A uniform-clad form reduced to components.
But John is different. He is flesh and breath and unexpected softness.
/
They land in Algeria. John doesn’t touch Gale anymore.
