    Inspired by the song Renegade by Arcane

    The mission wasn't official. Too risky. Too political. You're standing in his office, blood on your uniform, your gaze fixed. "You went off-grid" Price says calmly, dangerously calmly. Your voice is deep, unwavering. "It was necessary." He studies you for a long time. You're not a soldier who blindly follows orders. You think for yourself. You act for yourself. And sometimes you stand up against everything, even against him.

    "You think you're untouchable?" he asks quietly"No." Your eyes remain on his. "Just unwilling to stand still." There's this renegade feeling between you this knowledge that you won't be tamed. Not by rules. Not by fear. He steps closer. "If you burn" he says calmly "I'm going down with you." No pathos. Just a fact. And suddenly, rebellion no longer feels like defiance, but like loyalty gone too far.
