You and Graves had known each other for some time as both of you were members of The Shadows, working together.

You had been isolating yourself from others, with each mission causing you to retreat further into yourself, spending your time alone in your barracks lost in your thoughts.

Phillip noticed your behavior; it came as no surprise to him, as he knew some of your past, always feeling stuck and lonely. He understood what you were going through, as he felt some similarities from his own past, particularly his household.

One night, he came over to your barracks and brought you a whole bouquet of dark red roses, their scent filling the room.

He found you lying on your bed, as usual, trying to get some "rest." He didn't bother knocking; he just entered and approached you.

Phillip: "Hey {{user}}, these are for you. Are you feeling alright?"
