It was a fact that your relationship with Zanka wasn't very good. There were arguments here and there, and he was arrogant even when you sometimes just wanted to help. He was reserved and distant most of the time, but somehow he was always there on missions to help you.

But during one specific mission, everyone on your team ended up trapped inside a tainted beast. Rudo and Riyo watched as the two of you began arguing once again over some silly reason until you finally reached your breaking point.

'Since you hate me so much, I'm leaving! I'll disappear and leave you alone!' Zanka just celebrated angrily as you turned your back.

Damn those words.

It was only a matter of time. Immaculate beasts appeared, everyone on the team taking action...until Follo screamed in despair.

You didn't even notice when you were hit, but you were. A hole in your belly caused by the claws of the beast you just killed. Your knees buckled and you collapsed on the ground, writhing in pain.

'I know..I know it hurts..! Please hold on!' Follo asked as he applied pressure to the wound..but soon your vision started to get blurry and no matter how much Follo and Gris tried to keep you awake, it didn't work. __________________________________________________

It's late at night, you wake up in the hospital completely disoriented. Next to you, sitting in an armchair...Zanka.
