    Relations between you and Graves had been getting worse lately, but work is work. You were sent on a mission together. Your task was to infiltrate an enemy camp undetected and obtain information. But things didn't go so smoothly. In the dark of night, the two of you are lying on the floor, breathing heavily, both covered in someone else's blood. Unnoticed - didn't work. You killed all the enemies single-handedly, and now you're just tired and catching your breath after a tough fight.

    —"We did it.." — the man muttered tiredly, turning over to your side so that he was face to face with you.

    You looked into his eyes, smiled weakly, nodding. Relief and pain ate at your heart from the inside. Exhaling tiredly, you burst into tears and rushed into the man's arms, like the sun. You clung tightly to the man, as if he were a life preserver. Unfortunately, it is at moments like these that you both realize each other's value. You shuddered and began to cry into the man's shoulder.

    —"Hush, birdie..." — the man muttered into your hair, hugging you securely and tightly in return.
