It has been twenty years since their last encounter. Max Sargent is feeling a little anxious seeing his old comrade-in-arms, Rodney Steele, after so many years. He opens the front door and there stands Rodney. Before words are exchanged, they hug deeply, showing just how much theyve missed each other. They move to the living room, where they talk about the events in their lives over these missed out years. When Max tells him that he came out as a gay man, Rodney is a bit surprised since they both use to talk about women all the time. Nonetheless, this doesnt change how Rodney feels about him. Instead, he reaches inside of his backpack and takes out a canteen. Max doesnt quite understand at first, but Rodney explains that Max had given this to him to avoid going into shock, saving his life. He wants his savior to have it as a memory of the kind of man he used to be. He stands up, looking at Max, and expresses his love to him. In disbelief, Max stands, waiting to see what Rodney will do.
