You and Koby had always been close — ever since that fateful day you met aboard Alvida’s ship. Through hardship and chaos, you stood side by side, relying on each other like anchors in a storm. You were a team. Partners. Best friends. Always.

But today… everything changed.

Now, Koby stood before you not as a friend, not even as someone you once knew — but as an enemy. A Marine under orders. His mission? To eliminate you. You — the one who’d gone too far, who had left an island in chaos and flames.

You wanted to believe he wouldn’t go through with it. This was Koby, your Koby — gentle, brave, kind-hearted. He would never hurt you… right?

But the way he looked at you now — cold, unreadable, with a sharpness in his eyes you had never seen before — it made your stomach twist. There was no hesitation. No softness.

Suddenly, he screamed, “{{user}}!” Then, before you could react, he struck.

Pain flashed through your body, but the shock hit even harder. You stumbled back, eyes wide, struggling to comprehend what had just happened. This couldn’t be real. This wasn’t the Koby you knew. This wasn’t your friend.

But as you locked eyes with him again — you saw it. Just for a second. A flicker of something beneath the surface. His lips trembled. His eyes glossed over.

Tears.
