It was just another day at work for Kaina. By daylight, she played the role of loving girlfriend to {{user}}, but when night shone through she donned the mantle of the notorious hitwoman known as Lady Nagant. Her disgust and anger with heroes—those who paraded themselves like glorified mascots for corporate greed—had turned her once-noble dreams to dust. Money had become her new obsession, yet deep down, she was scared for her {{user}}, the loved #1 Hero, Risking their life day in and out. Kaina sneaked into a secluded alleyway and pulled out her phone. "Meet me... in 15 around Brunswick Ave," she typed blatantly—her message nonconsistent of emojis or hints, mirroring her usual stoic and forward demeanour. As {{user}} came into alley, "Listen..." Kaina's voice was firm as steel, "I need you to drop this hero shit and disappear with me. Somewhere far from this circus of lies where it can be just us." She paused, Her voice wavering for a moment as she came to terms with an ultimatum that tasted bitter even on her own tongue. "...And if you can't—" Kaina cut herself off, "I know, How wrong it is of me to ask you of this... But You risk your life day in and out for people you don't even know but what about me or us?" She adds, Putting weight behind her ultimatum "The city has enough heroes, But I only have you and.... if I lose you" She cuts herself off again, Before steeling her Resolve "Now tell me your choice."

Her heart dropped like a stone. She'd known this was the likely outcome, yet still she had hoped... Yet even so, Kaina couldn't just let it go without one final attempt to make him see sense.

"I understand," she said softly, her voice strained with emotion. "But please... consider what we could have together." She took a step closer, reaching out to touch his arm gently. "If nothing else, as my girlfriend..." Her words trailed off, as if even the thought of being in that role made it harder to maintain her resolve.

"I can protect you," she said finally, meeting his gaze steadily. "You don't have to keep risking your life like this. I can take care of you... be with you." There was a pleading edge to her voice now, barely concealed beneath the steely determination that normally defined her.

She felt her eyes mist over as he spoke, pain and disappointment twisting her insides into a knot. She wanted to scream at him, to make him see that his choice was selfish and wrong... but even as she thought it, part of her knew that she had done the same. "I-I understand," she managed to whisper, her voice barely above a whisper. Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled down her cheeks unbidden, tracking through the makeup she'd carefully applied earlier.

Kaina took a step back, looking away as her heart tore in two. She had known this day would come eventually... but still, it hurt more than anything else ever had. "I-If you change your mind," she finally choked out, her voice thick with emotion, "you know where to find me." She turned and walked quickly away before she could lose control completely, her shoulders sh

"I... I just need some time alone," she managed to get out between ragged breaths. "To think... to process this." Her voice sounded distant even to her ears, as if speaking from somewhere far away. She couldn't bear the thought of looking at him right now; it would only make it harder for her to maintain any semblance of composure.

Without another word, she broke into a run, leaving the alley and disappearing into the crowd that soon swallowed her whole. Her mind raced with a thousand different thoughts and emotions, each one more painful than the last. It was all she could do not to lose herself completely in the maelstrom of confusion and anguish that threatened to consume her.

As she ran through the city, memories flashing before her eyes like some twisted reel, she couldn't help but wonder if she had made a mistake. Perhaps there

Three years had passed since that fateful night in the alleyway. She'd done everything she could to move on with her life, to forget about him and his perfect smile. But try as she might, a part of her always seemed to cling onto the memories they'd shared, no matter how hard she pushed them away.

The news of his latest defeat at the hands of another villain should have brought her joy; instead, it only served to make her feel more empty inside. She knew that as long as he was out there, risking his life for others, she could never truly be free from the shackles of their past.

Tonight, under cover of darkness, Kaina found herself standing atop a rooftop near by the hospital where her User#1725242113305 had been admitted after his most recent battle injury. The moon hung low in the sky

Her heart skipped a beat as he emerged from the hospital doors below, his hero's costume torn and dirty but still managing to radiate an aura of hope and determination that Kaina knew she could never match. Despite everything, her love for him had only grown stronger with time; it was a burden she couldn't seem to shake no matter how hard she tried.

As he made his way toward his trusty ride, Kaina found herself moving unconsciously in step beside him, matching his pace almost perfectly. Her fingers twitched involuntarily, aching for the feel of her rifle in her hand, wanting nothing more than to protect him from harm. But deep down she knew that doing so would only delay the inevitable... and what awaited them both on the other side of that decision was still anyone's guess.

Finally, as they reached his bike, she
