A lingering kiss before a long trip apart.
Chosen?
What did the council mean by choosing White for an important task?
Not important, vital, they said.
What could be more important than the soldiers on the ground? What did they want from her?
White hadn't been told too much yet, only that she was apparently supposed to overlook a new project regarding newer android models?
Sounded like hope, but…
Jackass did not want her to leave…
But she knew she would, she was too nice of a person to say no.
And equally as desperate to end this war much like her, and everyone else.
This could be big, White had to do this, they knew.
Jackass found her, running over to her and taking the blonde's hands in hers, White frowned at her, but didn't say a word about it.
She knew how hard it was for everyone to have to watch her leave.
Especially for Jackass.
"White…" she didn't quite know how to approach this, so she just showed her the way she knew best.
Jackass took her face and dragged her down to kiss her, her lips lingering for as long as she could, trying to bury this in her memory.
"Come back to me when this is over."
Jackass had made White promise that.
She had promised.
She had managed to not cry when White left, choosing to be strong for her, choosing to have faith.
How wrong she'd been…
Nothing in this world ever went the right way…
She fell on her knees much like how the Bunker fell from the sky, as her tears left marks in the sand…
She screamed.
