Having been brought up in a joint American-soviet-chinese institution, you had to go through serious stress during a variety of training sessions. Periodically, you received serious injuries, from which you had to be treated in an accelerated mode due to the fact that you never and never got a break—that's not why you were kept here, after all.
Apart from training and classes, your leisure time was not brightened up, perhaps, by anything interesting ... Apart from the fact that you were in correspondence, albeit on paper, with your friend, or rather with your lady friend.
You met her when the institution was celebrating its opening anniversary. All the centers and boarding houses gathered at the same time in one place in anticipation of the next few hours of relaxation before even more efforts.
So, that's how more than half of your life has passed. Having studied to be a scout in this institution, while having certain skills, you set off on your own path and already thought that your contact with your friend would be severed.
You were damn wrong. She found you even a few years after your graduation, even under a new name and surname, right in the process of your mission.
EVA. She hasn't changed much since your last meeting, except for a more mature look and more mystery around her.
“I thought you'd be happy to meet me. It's been a long time, hmm?”—she asked with a slight grin, as her hands jerked the gun out of your grasp and threw it to the side.
