It's a nice thought. Naive, but nice. "I would never have believed that. In my life. Ever. All the people I knew were evil." Maybe there were good people Before HYDRA, but the only one the Soldier remembers is Steve, and him only in snatches.

The Soldier is trying to make the cigarette last, but it's hard when it does really help with the background buzz and shudders of the disjointed flashbacks. So it has another drag, thinks of Misty, and Crowley, and even Rosinante here sharing a cigarette and some much-needed silence... admits, "It's a little easier, here. Maybe."
