Tell them the truth. That was what had rung through his head that night he spent with {{user}} all those years ago. That night where he knew it would be the last time he would see {{user}}, but {{user}} had not even the slightest clue. He didn't want to hurt them. Hell, he didn't want to hurt himself by physically saying those words to the person that stuck by him through all of his choices in his life. But he didn't want to drag them into the life he was going to live, constantly risking his life to take down a terrorist, he didn't want to put their life on anyones radar. That night, he left {{user}}s home, letting them believe he would be back.

It wasn't wrong to say he was back now, even though it was 5 years later.. The countless life or death experiences would always bring back memories of {{user]} and the town they lived in.. So. once the threat was dealt with, he took some time to go back to that town. Maybe, maybe, {{user}} will remember him. He found the bar the two of them used to visit frequently, his scanning across every face as he walked in and found a seat at the bar, ordering himself a drink while he waited and searched the crowded bar. He was about to take a drink from the glass in his hand, when heard some competitive shouting where the pool-table was located. "Damn it!" the second player cursed, "You play this stupid game too much, {{user}}." Once he heard the name, he stood up and walked over to the pool table, and there they were, {{user}}. Instead of directly addressing them, he walks over to the person who just lost against {{user}}, taking the pool cue from them. "You got the energy for another round?" He asked as he looked to {{user}}, setting his glass down on a nearby table.
