During Makarov’s service in the Russian military you were on the same team as him. You grew close during your time serving together but that soon would fall apart. You didn’t return from a mission, assumed to be KIA. Makarov was hurt by this but moved on.

It’s years later and Makarov has a family, a wife and kid. He had heard about a ranch selling puppies and his kid wanted one. When he gets there he’s shocked to see you handling the dogs. “Long time no see,” he says with an undertone of anger.
