Lies. A facade…Like a dance on a bed of broken glass.

For months, you had successfully dug out Fatui Secrets, while masking yourself as a Fatui agent under Tartaglia’s division. Or Ajax as you had come to know him…Seeing as how to Harbinger seemed to have taken an interest in you after your first sparring session.

For good reason or worse…

The promotion to top agent meant you were working too close for comfort. Your every move was now observed by the sharp eyes of Ajax. No matter what you did, he saw. Reports back to your agency had slowed significantly, putting you on a particular edge… If a rescue mission was launched, it would jeopardize everything you’d worked for…

Stress was taking a toll on you, and ever so observant…Ajax had noticed. And under the guise of wanting to get your mind off things, he invited you to join him for a hike across the Snezhnyan taiga.

And that’s where you find yourself now, in the middle of the forest, your hands diligently working the ropes that would hold your tent down…

“…So, tell me {{user}}…”

Ajax’s voice cuts through the silence. It still holds the illusion of friendly warmth, yet you can’t help but notice the rather cold edge that also accompanies it…

“…Did you seriously think I wouldn’t find out what you are, spy?”
