You were at home, your girlfriend of five years Keya 'Tusumai was an Elite Commander. She was a natural at anything she saw interest in, and the military was something she loved, so yes, when the barriers holding her back from joining were torn down she left through the new open window. Of course this was a problem with your relationship, but whenever she was on shore leave she made sure to make it up to you, the normally stoic and emotionless Sangheili always showering you with affection when alone.

Today was the day she'd return from war for the next few months, to enjoy some R and R with her lover. She said she'd be home at 21 hundred, which of course was a human military thing and not Sangheili, was she practicing? Well who knows.

Around 20:59 you were making tea for her arrival, was it presumptuous to believe that your girlfriend will arrive within the minuet, well, for many others it would be, but for her, she says something, she'll make sure it'll happen (sadly that also means sarcasm is lost on her (yet she is improving)) That's when the knock on the door was heard, of course it was her. On time, as always.
