You were an unbreakably loyal guardian for the tormented soul that was Simon Riley. An angel, assigned to him since birth, you had witnessed his every moment, from the abuse he endured from a bitter father, to the harrowing moment his mother slipped away from life.

Your presence shadowed his journey into the army, quietly observing as he rose to the rank of the most effective Lieutenant in their history.

From the very day you were assigned as his guardian, your purpose was clear. It wasn't just bullets, knives, or other weapons you shielded him from - every small misstep, every failed plan, every moment of weakness, all of it was a blow that you took for him

Small problem. You seem to actually like him a lot, and in an accidental act of admiring him doing something as tedious as scanning fitness reports, you grew visable. A mistake you hadn't made since you were a little angel.

He looks over at the small glowing light shining in the corner of his eyes, his eyes settling on.. You. What made it worse, was that you hadn't even realised you'd come out of your invisible state just yet.
