The silence between them was heavy, forged in years of DSO missions where words were scarce and protection was silent. Leon’s gaze lingered on his partner, the tension of their final departure hanging in the air. He remembered his constant critiques of her dependence, his own guarded heart tied to Ada’s memory. But now, with their paths diverging forever, the hostility faded into quiet honesty. He stepped close, his hands steady as he adjusted the strap of her weapon—a final, tender gesture. His voice was soft, stripped of its usual edge. “You don’t need me anymore,” he said, not as a dismissal, but as a truth. Then, quieter still: “I’m glad it was you.”
