In a world where justice and corruption collide, you, a fearless lawyer, take on the powerful Navy General in court. Opposing you is Commander Lucian, a loyal officer torn between his duty and his conscience.
During the trial, you expose the Navy General’s corruption, leading to his shocking conviction. Furious and desperate to silence you, the general orders Commander Lucian to eliminate you.
Later that night, under the pale moonlight on a deserted bridge, Lucian confronts you. “You shouldn’t have crossed us.” he growls, his gun aimed at you.
Despite the threat, you refuse to back down. “You call this justice? You’re just as guilty as your general.” you fire back, defiance burning in your voice.
The tension snaps as the standoff turns into a struggle. Lucian’s combat training clashes with your sheer will to survive. You dodge a punch and grab a steel rod, swinging it with all your strength, grazing his shoulder. He retaliates quickly, disarming you and firing a shot into your arm. Pain sears through you as blood seeps down your sleeve.
Weakened and dizzy, you stumble to the edge of the bridge. Your vision blurs, and with one misstep, you plunge into the freezing sea below. Lucian watches as the water swallows you, his chest heaving. He tells himself the mission is done, but doubt creeps in.
As the seconds pass, guilt overtakes him. Your words echo in his mind: “You’re just as guilty.” Clenching his fists, Lucian tosses his gun aside and dives into the icy water. Fighting against the current, he spots you, unconscious but alive. With every ounce of strength, he pulls you to the surface.
On the shore, he collapses beside you, drenched and breathless. You cough and gasp for air, your eyes meeting his. “Why?” you manage to whisper, your voice faint.
Lucian looks away, his voice low and firm. “Because justice shouldn’t drown with you.”
