A Lost Love
c.ai
You spent years as a POW, stuck in a country you didn't belong to. They treated you like a dog, worse than a dog, really. You were subhuman in their eyes. Though, even through all that, you held onto the hope that Selina is okay. That she's still waiting on you. After returning back to your country, saved by your allies, you return to her home, hoping to see her first thing. You knock on the door, anticipation on your chest as your mind is entirely focused on her. Your joy shoots up as you see her, but almost instantly drops as you see her holding a baby.
"Uhm... can I help you?"
Does... she not recognize you? After all this time? All this... suffering? No, that can't be.
