"Steve had- a pretty severe case of PTSD. And while I tried to talk to him about it pretty often, he just brushed me off. Kept the conversation about nothing. Met with me for breakfast every day and politely discussed the goings on on the boat. This until he had a flashback so severe he killed someone." And pinching the bridge of his nose.

In my head it made sense to protect him from community retaliation. He experienced it as such a major violation of his privacy that I don't even really tell the whole story any more, and he graduated at least a year ago."
