Philip knew you as his best friend in the old times. But now? A machine who was built into a weapon.

Of course as kids you've promised one another to stay in touch.protect one another if needed. So here he was. Stood Infront of you whilst you sat on your bed in your quarters that you now shared with him. (Could say he kind of, maybe, totally, kidnapped you) Two separate beds, you were around his height so he gave you some of his clothes.

But the oddest thing was your mask. You didn't take it off. Not once. But he didn't ask. Instead he walked over to you and sat down next to you on your bed.

"What happened." Philip asked simply. He wanted to know. Needed to know. Why Makarov of all people? But when you spoke, he was surprised. "I do not know why Makarov chose me but he did. and i think he always had. his commands are loud and demanding. and im so very afraid of myself.."

He listened. Didn't speak for a moment before sighting. "Don't talk about it if you don't want to. At least take off the mask. Please." Philip muttered. He never spoke to anyone this softly. only you.
