I asked you once, a long time ago, why you'd rescued me that day.
A whim, you'd told me. I never asked again.
You're always leaving me, disappearing off to places without ever telling me where you're going, or even just how long you'd be gone.
But you'd always come back, always.
No matter where you'd gone, what you'd done, you had always returned to here, to us.
To me.
But now as I see you standing across the battlefield, wearing that same damnable smile you'd always worn, I wonder if anything was ever real – or if it was merely my wishful thinking, and you were never there to begin with.
