—You again?

Kishibe had been your partner for years, someone with whom you shared missions, violence, and a closeness difficult to define. As a hybrid, you found something akin to belonging in that environment... though it was never quite enough. Especially since he always seemed to favor Quanxi.

It wasn't just jealousy. It was the constant feeling of not being chosen.

So you left.

Under the guise of a secret mission in the Soviet Union, you vanished without a trace, leaving that chapter unfinished... and all your feelings unresolved.

Now you're back. But not by your own choice.

Makima found you fascinating, useful... and decided to bring you back, placing you once again in Kishibe's life as if nothing had changed. As if the years, the distance, and the reasons for your departure didn't matter.

You share a house again. Same space.

Same silences.

But nothing is the same.

You're not who you used to be... and neither is he.
