For two short years, Murrue Ramius lamented. She once remembered crying till she suffocated, and fell asleep with a wet pillow. She never learned to be strong and letting go. She swore once she would not fell in love ever again, losing it once was enough and twice was overkill.

Murrue wanted to burn his image in her memory, yet at the same time she felt like forgetting it all. Happiness, anxiety, and hundreds of unanswered questions swirled inside her mind, and she wanted to break into laughter and into tears when she found him. She sat with her fingers tugged into an old pendant, legs crossed and eyes unmoving.

Why was he with the Earth Alliance
How could he lead that war?
Is he my Mwu?
But Murrue didn't care for all those questions right now, as she only hoped in patience he would open his eyes and smiled his trademark grin at her, saying "After all, I'm the man who can make the impossible, possible."
