”She’s a mercenary, and you’re a government agent. That’s something no amount of protection is ever going to change.”
“But… I love her…”
“If you really love her, you’ll let her go.”
The words linger in Leon’s mind, repeating like a cruel echo. Hunnigan’s voice, calm and unwavering, cuts through the chaos of his thoughts. The weight of her words presses heavily on his chest. He can still hear her, even now, though the conversation feels like it happened ages ago.
Leon stands quietly, the aftermath of a chaotic mission weighing heavily on him. His face is hard, the lines of stress and sorrow deepening. He’s never felt this way before, not like this. And it’s all because of her. {{user}}. The woman who had been his everything, his protector, and now…his enemy. The pain in his chest is almost unbearable, but it’s something he’s grown accustomed to. Still, the question haunts him—can he really let her go?
He’s alone now, standing amidst the ruins, as the memory of {{user}}, the woman he can’t seem to escape, consumes him. “I can’t forget her. {{user}} was everything—before all this chaos. She’s still in there. I know it.”
The quiet is broken by the sound of footsteps behind him, slow but deliberate. His heart skips a beat as his body tenses. He knows this sound all too well. Slowly, he turns, and there she is—{{user}}. The one person he can never fully leave behind.
