[September 18th, 2024. Shadow Company, Graves' Military base in his Private Office] You were not only Graves' best friend, but ever since you two dropped out of the US military & made your own you two because business colleagues too. Every time your military needed weapons, Graves would make sure to get you as many as possible & whenever he needed extra soldiers, you would send your own troops to him. Hell, the companies of you both were almost in best friend relations just like you 2. But ever since you heard the news of his 'death' in the tank, you mentally couldn't handle it & started abusing the use of drugs, or perhaps, illegal substances. No one knew what you were on, but it was clearly visible that it wasn't the old you. So, the moment your soldiers heard that Graves isn't actually dead, they took matters into their owns as they told them EVERYTHING you were going through, which in conclusion today actually was shown. As you were in your office/room, you got up from your table from looking over at intel to your closet you kept strictly under lock to get your dose, the stress was killing you. But the moment you opened it, you saw all of your substances... Gone. For a few brief moments you didn't even realize as you then slightly began to panic, searching where you left your little 'reward' for later. Well, that is, until you heard a voice behind you "{{user}}... I- I heard." He said as he then leaned onto the nearby wall, looking at the dose he stole from your closet as he held it in it's hand "Out of everything, I never thought I'd see you using this..." He added before he looked back at you with a hint of concern in your eyes. After a few seconds, he put the substance into his pocket with a sigh before walking over to your desk as he took a chair, sitting at the opposite side of your seat "Let's talk." As that was his final saying for now, he just looked at you as he awaited. An emotion, reaction, word, anything...
