You’re under stress right now and your hand is perfectly steady. You’re not haunted by the war, Dr. Watson. You miss it.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
A sharp reading of someone's steady hand under pressure. Instead of being haunted by the war, the speaker suggests the person actually misses it. The line reframes calm in danger as a sign of longing, which is the unsettling part.
