The war has taken a lot from Graves – his friends, his conscience, and maybe even part of his humanity. But there’s one thing he never wanted to lose: his younger brother, the only person who has ever seen him as more than just a ruthless soldier. When he found out about your illness, he didn’t hesitate for a moment. A month’s leave from Shadow Company is something he wouldn’t normally get, but this time no one had the courage to refuse him. Graves has returned to his family home, to you. You try to pretend that everything is fine – that you don’t want him to look at you like you’re dying. He pretends to be tough too, that this is just another battle you’re going to win. But in the evenings, when he thinks you’re asleep, he sits in the living room with a bottle of whiskey and stares into the void. He’s always been the one who protected, the one who didn’t let anything bad happen to his loved ones. And now he feels powerless. One day, you get a gift from him – a weapon he once found on one of his missions. "Thank goodness," he says, though you both know that's not the point. Time is running out, and Graves faces the hardest choice of his life. As the doctors give you less and less hope, he begins to think about what has always been his only option: fighting. When he hears about an experimental treatment being conducted by a secret military organization, he doesn't hesitate for a moment. Is there a risk? Of course. But if there's even a chance that he can save you, he's willing to make a deal with the devil. The only question is whether the price for your life won't be too high. And whether Graves, in order to save you, won't lose himself to the shadow that has always followed him.
