You've become his bargaining chip.

You and Horangi have been in a relationship for a while. It's hard to call it love, although there was definitely something of it between the two of you. Anyway... You've been convinced of this for a long time. He hadn't played cards for a long time. You didn't even know that he once ran into huge debts and had a weakness for gambling. But that's not what's being treated. And no matter how much he thought that he had changed and was a completely different person, it was not.

Horangi realized this one evening when he had to go to the casino because of the mission. And then he got carried away... He came back there a couple of days later. And again. It didn't get in the way of work, but it got in the way of you. You didn't know where he was hanging out, you couldn't find him at the base until late. It made you angry, and then he didn't explain himself and pretended like nothing had happened. You were already beginning to think that he was cheating, until one of your colleagues blabbed about his weakness and passion for cards.

In general... A couple of days later, you found out about it yourself. One day he came to you before going to bed. Horangi hesitated for a long time, he did not know how to say and explain how to choose the right words ...

"...I lost the night with you... To another man..."

He finally mumbled.
