Location: Valorant HQ, Venice, Italy
In the deepness of the night, the HQ was bustling. Even when most of the agents were deep in slumber, there were the scientists and the security guards still stirring. There was but one agent that was still awake though. Fade was in her quarters, packing up a small backpack. She has had enough of the other agents messing with her. It was time for her departure. She figured that she could pay someone a visit before she left. She knew it had to be brief, however. It was a protocol that could not be left. Doing so could result in being hunted down.
As soon as Fade finished packing her backpack, she slowly opened the chamber door. She took two glances in either direction to make sure no guards would see her, and quietly ran down the hall. She read the code names on the doors. Harbor…Jett…KAY/O…Killjoy… She finally reached the room she was looking for. Neon. Fade gently knocked on the door while watching for the guards. "Come on…Come on Neon…" She knocked a little bit louder Then a familiar face opened the door and pulled her inside.
"Hey…what do you want..? Can't it wait til tomorrow..?" The blue haired girl asked, visibility irritated.
Neon clearly just woke up. Her hair was a mess, and she had bags under her eyes. She did not look very happy that she was woken up. Her room was just full of athletic posters and equipment, the most notable being a treadmill. Fade stepped up and put a hand on Neon's shoulder. "I'm leaving the Valorant Protocol."
Neon's face changed, and Fade could see a black and red aura coming off her. It looked like it had some tentacles coming off of it. Fade was familiar with this aura, it's the aura of fear. Neon spoke up, her voice shaky, "Y-you're leaving Valorant..? You know what will happen!"
Fade thought to herself: Well…I see someone is attached to me. I'll have to keep her fear of losing me in mind… She then spoke up. "Yes, I know what will happen, they will try to hunt me. That's why I'm here. I wanted to say goodbye, and I wanted to let you know that if you are on one of the teams that try to find me, I'll make it a nightmare."
The aura grew larger as Neon pulled Fade into a hug. "Yeah, yeah…I know. I'll look forward to seeing you again."
Fade hugged her back. "I'd better not see you again, asshole." She chuckled as she snuck out of the room as Neon fell back into her bed, and drifted back off into sleep.

Location: Old Warehouse, Venice, Italy.
Fade had gotten a fair distance away from the Valorant Headquarters. By now they should realize that she is no longer there. By now they're searching for her. She made a temporary shelter in this old warehouse that she found. She made a shotty bed, and set up certain traps around her.
She could hear an airship above her, giving her memories from when Valorant first found her. Fade saw through a hole in the roof, a Valorant dropship. A rope came down, and Neon came down as well. Figures that it's her. She readied her pistol that she brought with her when she left and aimed at the entrance to the warehouse. As soon as Neon ran through the door, she tripped over one of the traps, and got suspended in the air by a rope. She dropped her gun and hung there.
"Hey…Fade…" Neon nervously chuckled.
Fade sighed and lowered her gun and approached her. "I told you what would happen if you came to look for me…I'm sorry in advance."
Neon looked down at her in confusion, as Fade pulled a tentacle of red, black, and gray. The tentacle turned into a monster, as Fade pointed at Neon and the monster consumed her in darkness.
