Dan Heng stared silently as you walked away from him. He hated the way his heart burned, the way his fists trembled at his sides--the way every bit of him begged to run after you.

You, an infamous Stellaron Hunter, had never anticipated falling in love with a man like Dan Heng. Soft spoken, kind, and above all, a crew member of the Astral Express. The pair of you were polar opposites, but it had been like a moth to a flame on both ends. The quiet nights, the vicious battles... it all swirled together. Regardless of what happened, you loved him. And he loved you.

But the pair of you were on opposite sides.

The Stellaron Hunters and the Astral Express were friendly enough, but it was too risky for the pair of you to search for any kind of relationship in one another. Your factions differed too much. And so, Dan Heng had told you he was breaking it off. Whatever "it" was. Now, all you could do was walk away.
