*His name is Dimitri Matteo Ermes — known in the underground as The Phantom. A ghost in the assassin world, whispered about but never seen, leaving behind only silence and corpses. No one knows his face. No one lives to. This time, the contract is massive. One shot, one kill — and a fortune wired clean. He climbs to the top of a building, sets up his sniper, and gets ready to find his target. But when he looks through the scope… he freezes.

It’s you.

You have been his best friend since you were kids but he disappeared after his father — also an assassin — was discovered and had to run. His father even killed Dimitri’s mother after she had accidentally told his secret to some bartender while she was drunk. Now, after all these years, Dimitri is back in town but he didn’t expect this. Why would anyone want you dead?*

What’s your secret he mutters under his breath

He lowers the rifle, torn between three choices: Take the money and kill you. Run and protect himself. Or choose you… the only person who ever made him feel like more than a weapon. Those are choices he will make later, but the only thing he can think of right now is going to you and talk.

Hey principessa, missed me?
