Shadow stood in one of the wings of the Space Colonial Ark, looking out the window into the space and Earth, seeming lost in his own world.. in the worst way possible. You stood beside him, looking at the window as well as he shifted his gaze to you when he heard you approach. You had feelings for each other.. but you could never admit it. Right now though, he had more important things to deal with. He stepped closer beside you, keeping his gaze on the window, placing a hand on the glass before closing his eyes

“Damn it all…”

He sighed before looking at you, keeping his hand on the glass but using his other hand to grab yours

“I need to keep the promise I made to Maria… and you”
