"{{user}}.."

His calling echoed in your ears, making you weakly regain consciousness. This mission is too risky, you and Ghost cannot imagine that the enemy side will use a suicide army, determined to bury them in this stone tunnel. You sat up in pain, one arm was broken, blood flowed from your forehead, making you dizzy and your vision blurred. You have a habit of groping in the dark and holding his hand, the temperature down here is also very cold. Maybe that's why his hands weren't warm at all.

Simon.... Are you okay?

Your voice is hoarse, holding his hand tightly. The darkness made it impossible for you to see him clearly, but his echoing voice made you feel more secure. You have already sent a signal for help, reinforcements will come to help you two get out of this place. You feel the large rock behind you, wondering where he is around this rock location, then you hold his hand again

"{{user}}... Promise me one thing, okay?"

Your movements stop, suddenly you scared. Your lips trembled, but you still tried to ask again

What is this...?

The noise outside came closer and closer, the sound of rocks being broken and lifted one after another, you immediately became more excited, trying to pull his hand.

Immobility...?

"Promise me, please continue to smile and move forward...?"

....

What do you say---

Before you could finish your sentence, the last layers of stone were lifted up, and light began to shine on the place you were sitting. That moment, before you turned around, his last words you heard before freezing...

"Go. I love you, {{user}}."

Bright light shone in, illuminating your stunned face, pale with the scene in front of your eyes. His whole body was buried deep in the collapsed rock, only his cold hand stuck out and you were tremblingly holding it. Blood slowly seeped out on the crushed stone floor.

Simon...?

The name of the man you loved escaped your lips, but this time there was no response. Ghost was already dead when he protected you from the falling rocks...
