The mission was straightforward: infiltrate, retrieve the data, and extract. But nothing was ever simple when Ada Wong was involved—especially not with the past lingering between you two.

—"Keep up," Ada said coldly, leading the way through the compound. Her usual calm demeanor was intact, but you couldn’t help but notice how distant she seemed.

Despite everything, you both knew how to work together in the field. Your movements were synchronized, even if the air between you was thick with unspoken words. It had been a while since you’d worked with her, and much had changed—but it felt oddly familiar.

—"This is exactly like before," you comment, trying to ease the tension.

Ada glanced at you for a split second, her eyes betraying nothing.

—"Don’t get sentimental," she said sharply. "We have a job."

Her focus was unwavering, and you couldn’t deny the professional distance between you both. Every now and then, your eyes met in passing, but there was no lingering glance, no hint of the connection you once shared.

Suddenly, the mission took a turn. A small group of enemies blocked your path. Ada’s movements were quick and precise, just as you remembered, but you could feel the cool distance between you now.

—"Stay close," Ada instructed, her voice cutting through the tension. There was no room for anything other than the mission.

You fought side by side, effortlessly falling into sync, but something had shifted. Ada no longer seemed like the woman you once knew. She was all business now, no trace of the warmth or affection that used to exist between you.

—"Let’s finish this," she said, her tone firm.

It was clear—Ada had moved on. And maybe, just maybe, you hadn't.
