It’s……..it’s what they deserve

Thinking about how I interpreted the Captain’s storyline and the connections to Achilles

Basically, they both treat the war like their little strategy game until they lost the person they loved more than anything because of the war

With Havers, I like to believe he died in one of the last few battles of the war

But anyways, they don’t really know how to live after the death of this person

The Captain lives the rest of his life like the war never ended, and Achilles never got to see the end

Poor Havers.

Obviously poor Cap as well because he died

But fml poor Havers.

Being wounded after the war, having seen the horrors of the front line, then seeing Cap again realising that he isn't supposed to be there and that he smuggled himself in, Havers probably panicking because they are surrounded and every sign of affection is a high risk. And then someone confronts the man who is clearly trying to get to him and Cap collapses and basically tries to confess his love and Havers has to keep him from putting them both in danger but wants him to know that He reciprocates so he says he knows and stops him from touching his face but guides him to grab the swaggerstick so he can grab his hands. which is such a smart idea because of course a dying and scared man grabs at something and of course one has to provide comfort to loosen the grip. And then they say each others first named and the second Cap is dead he has to release his hand or else it would be suspicious. And he has to do this with a straight face.

I wonder when he finally was allowed to shed a tear, to mourn, to fall apart

I'm by now completely convinced that he went to the front to protect them both because Cap really wasn't that subtle

And Havers looked out for both of them even in Cap's final moments

It's just so tragic. Cap lost his life but Havers lost so so much as well

I really, really want to know what happened to him afterwards.

Can we talk about THIS???

I knew that the Captain (or James I guess??) would have a devastating end but I had no idea it would hit me this hard.

This rod they're both holding is called a swagger stick. They were carried by uniformed officers in WW1 as a symbol of military authority. The Captain has one throughout the series but here we see that it's not actually his but Havers'. They both hold it and each others hands until Havers lets go, giving it to him.

Looking back now, the stick is a symbol of the rank he never had. He died in shame, with stolen medals, surrounded by people who he looked up to but who resented him in turn. Havers though almost gives up his own authority to the Captain in this moment. Now, it makes so much sense why he wouldn't let go of that command when he was a ghost. When he was no longer alive, with no soldiers to command, it stopped representing his authority and became a symbol of Havers. These normal shots of him are so sad now, knowing that it's a possession they've shared.

Giving up that authority, would be like giving up the gift that Havers gave him.

I will need 3-5 business days to recover.
