(Roy's Point of view)
I couldn't just ignore it, I had to say something to her. "Hey, Lieutenant, I'm sorry.." I blurted out, indicating to the bandages wrapped around the wounds on her shoulder and neck that she had gotten on The Promised Day
"Sorry? for what, sir?" She asked curiously back
"For not protecting you like I should have.." I answered
She said "You don't have to be sorry about that."
"Dammit Lieutenant! yes I do! You could have died back there and it would've been my fault.." I had protested. I really couldn't afford to lose her..
"Don't make this all about me, Sir!" She cried out "I was worried about you too!" She then looked away "I was worried that you might not have come back safe.." "I was worried that you might not even come back at all.." She blurted out, shakily.
I caught a glimpse of her crying.. Tears began to pour down her cheeks like rain... I despised rain.. it made me useless..but in this type of rain.. I couldn't stay back, She needed me..How could I be such a fool?! I hurt her again! I got up, rushing, crossed the short space between our beds and plopped down beside her.. and didn't hesitate then to pull her close. I let her head rest on my shoulder and I began to stroke her hair. "I won't let you go again, Lieutenant." I whispered. I don't know how long it continued to rain but in that short moment, I had embraced it.
