I can't believe the captain and havers knew each other for two months in 1940, and then didn't see each other again for 5 years. and all of that admiration and affection had turned to desperation and before they could share more than a breath, the captain was dead. and then he kept all that emotion and all that love pressed into a tight dense little packet stuck behind his ribcage for nearly 80 years. where is havers when you need him. where indeed. this wretched war. are you listening.
