Chris' personal logs read like the stuff of nightmares. To have had his entire family turned into monsters in a single night...To be so filled with shame as to kill them all...And then, to have someone like Holly drafted into his squad despite this trauma...Many things started to make sense, but she wasn't mad at him; rather, she felt sympathy for her superior, sorry that she had placed such an emotional burden upon him...but after thinking on it some more, she did feel some anger. It wasn't directed toward McDowwel, though...

"...Not that I don't appreciate the concern," said Holly sternly, "but I wish you hadn't shown me these. They're called 'personal' for a reason, and I think the staff sergeant deserves a bit more respect than this. Do us both a favor and put those back where you found them before someone finds out. We could both get into a lot of trouble otherwise..."

She gestures for Melina to hide the files while they finish eating and then returns her attention to her meal. It's going to be difficult for her to look at her superior officer the same way anymore, for better or for worse...
