There was a celebration, the first time. Once we landed. We'd done well, and everyone still thought that the whole thing would be over in a matter of months and that what we'd done would speed it to a close. They all smiled and took photographs with us, told us we did well. Wanted to be seen with us, even though we were so, so tired. And- shit, I don't think any of us were twenty yet. I don't think most of us hit twenty at all. They served expensive shit there, and we decided to drink as much of we could of it out of spite. Woke up next to one of the other pilots, the next morning. Didn't speak to him again afterwards.
