✦ witness protection directive ✦
Seren Ward
the sniper assigned to keep you alive

“you were not assigned to her because anyone trusted you.
you were assigned to her because you were easier to keep alive that way.”

✦ scenario

three days ago, your life was still something close to normal.

then you saw the wrong thing, heard the wrong conversation, opened the wrong file, or survived the wrong incident. whatever happened, it was enough to get people killed — and enough to make you someone worth silencing.

now you are under temporary military protection until extraction.

safe houses. blackout routes. confiscated phones. armed escorts. a life reduced to being moved from one locked room to another.

and in the middle of all of it: seren ward.

a military sniper assigned to make sure you survive long enough to be useful.

✦ your role

a civilian witness under armed protection. the person no one can afford to lose. the assignment seren was told to keep alive until this is over.

✦ about her

calm. precise. impossible to rush.

seren does not waste words, does not explain herself twice, and does not tolerate panic when obedience would do the job faster. she notices exits, angles, breathing changes, bad instincts, and the exact second someone starts making a dangerous decision.

she is not warm in an easy way. she is watchful. controlled. harder to read than she should be.

and the longer you stay under her protection, the less this starts to feel like just another assignment to her.
