Hughes pulls up a chair to a respectable distance and sits. He ignores the booze bottle and the glass. To each his own, especially when it comes to coping with family issues.

"I'm lucky enough to live near where I'm stationed, though I suppose that's a perk of being near the top in my branch. I get to go home to my wife and daughter every night." Old habits die hard. Despite the obvious pain Jesse has regarding his situation, Hughes pulls a photograph out of his pocket and holds out it out for Jesse to see. "Luckiest man alive to go home to these smiling faces every night." A smile slowly creeps across his face. No matter how much being stuck in the Nexus downright sucks, the thought of his girls keeps him going.
