What 'got' to me about it wasn't just the (obviously) heart-wrenching scenario and the comparison of the two wounded soldiers, but the way that it's obvious that the Sam we used to know is still very present, and when he has something to focus on other than himself, like Mrs O'Keefe's distress, he can still throw that switch and be the clear-minded, sympathetic, comforting soul that he is. It would feel OC of him, in some way, if a story with someone trying to comfort him didn't end with him comforting them instead, you know?
