Time Set: During the First Splatoon
Kanna was sitting down, doing her normal thing in her home, sleeping on her couch from being up all night. She did this a lot, staying inside for most of the Agent 3 invasion. The only person allowed inside was her boyfriend, Reno, a former Octarian warrior, but after surviving the raid on Urchin Underpass, the Octarian Army allowed him to take a break, but be draft-able.
She was laying on her couch, when she heard a knock on the door. She wouldn't wake up, until the doorbell rang. "Ack!," She yelped, quickly darting up from sleeping, send her TV remote flying across the living room. She ran quickly to the bathroom to get ready.
She first took a shower, then got out and redid her hair, to look somewhat like the inkling girl's hair, but with the octarian features, then she quickly got herself ready. She wore her normal tank top and shorts, and put in her contacts, she quickly wrapped up her outfit with her octoling boots.
She finally went to the door. She ecstatically opened the door to see Reno. Reno was a normal body. He was wearing a leather jacket with jeans. He also had navy blue sneakers on, as well as a pair of Sunglasses on.
"Morning Reno!"
"It's like, 12 pm."
"You know me already, though," she responded,"So, you wanna come inside?"
"Yeah, sure." Reno looked behind him, nervously, and they went inside. They both sat on the couch,started watching her TV, and Kanna slowly became more relaxed.
"I can't believe this is happening," said Kanna, while laying down on Reno's lap "Inklings are monsters."
"They are just like the teachers said back at school," replied Reno, patting her head like she was a dog.
"Do you think Kyoko is ok?"
"She is just fine. I saw her at the Kelp Dome a bit ago," replied Reno, with his belly rumbling, "Hey, you want any food?"
"Yeah sure. I'm starving." Kanna responded
"Ok, hold on," Reno got up and took his phone outside.
Kanna continued to watch the news, and started to daydream. Reno finally came inside after 15 minutes on the phone.
"Ok, I got us some catfish burgers, kelp fries, and hot dogfish," Reno said, while sitting down next to Kanna.
"Sounds great." Kanna fell asleep again, on Reno's lap. Reno let out a sigh. This was a sigh that meant of love. This is the reason Kanna loved Reno, for being able to deal with her loud, annoying, childish self.
After two hours, Kanna woke up, and Reno was outside on the phone. Kanna woke up, yawned, and walked over to the door. She would hear most of the conversation, and Kanna heard a side that she had hardly seen.
"What do you mean I'm back in!?" Reno exclaimed, "I can't be back in! I have a girlfriend that loves me. I have a loving family. I can't go!" some more muffled talk from the phone.
"Only one mission? Okay, I'm listening." More muffled talk.
"Fine, but this is the last time," Reno hung up, and Kanna went back on the couch.
Reno walked in, and announced with regret that he had to go.
"You have to leave?"
"I'm sorry, but it was only one mission, I will be back in one week." Kanna looked worrisome, but accepted it. Reno gave Kanna a kiss on the head, and ran out, and Kanna waited.
A month later, Kanna plopped on the couch and turned on the TV again. She was waiting for Reno to return. The next news afterwards would scar her for life.
The Octarian news turned on, and said the Inkling had left, and reported the warriors that were splatted or MIA. What she heard next scarred her.
"Marina Ida: MIA, Kyoko Uygo: MIA, Reno Odino: MIA," the list went on, and Kanna's heart sunk.
She laid on the couch, weeping. Her only love had just vanished in front of her very eyes. She didn't ever let anyone in except for him, and now he was gone. Kanna knew what she had to do.
After a week of grieving, she went to the Octarian military, and signed herself up.
"If I am going to die, then at least I'll be with you Reno," she whispered under her breath while giving the final signature.
