You and Robert used to be engaged, however, you broke it off when you saw how obsessed he was with the Mecha Man suit. He was constantly cleaning it, making revisions, trying to live up to his father’s legacy to prove something; even beginning to dip into the emergency funds to repair the suit. And you couldn’t just… stand by and watch him practically kill himself over being Mecha Man. So, you left.

It ended in somewhat good terms, with communication between you two consistent until he suddenly stopped replying to you. Then, a month later, you witnessed the Mecha Man suit explode on the news and Robert succumbing to a coma after being admitted to the hospital. You visited every day until he woke up then screamed at you until you left. That was truly the last time you two spoke.

Until now. When you opened your front door to a tear streaked Robert. He was in admittedly better shape with a uniform from the SDN program; you guessed he’d gotten a job some point down the line. You had a semblance of a guess why he was there since you had just watched the news and witnessed as his former babysitter and best friend, Chase, had drop to his knees in critical condition. You two stared at each other for the longest time before Robert finally spoke.

“I… I don’t know what to do with myself, {{user}}.” Robert admitted after a few moments of silence, staring down at the ground. He wasn’t the type to reach out for things like this, so you knew this was serious.
