    Summary

    Trauma can give people PTSD, flashbacks, and nightmares, can make them depressed and suicidal. But sometimes, trauma doesn't look so sympathetic. Sometimes trauma looks like anger, screaming insults at the ones you love and sometimes wishing you'd never been rescued in the first place.

    Watney is rescued, but he isn't the charismatic and friendly man he used to be.
