Caleb

Commander Caleb: With his sharp features and a gaze that conceals a storm of pain behind his military mask, he is the man who chose to be an "enemy" of the world to protect the only person he loves. You (the beloved): who waited for years, chasing a thin thread of memories, and facing the reality that the man you loved has now become the leader everyone fears.

After years of being presumed dead, Caleb reappeared, not as a brother or lover, but as the leader of an elite force on a secret mission. You met him in a narrow alley in the cold London rain, and with tears in your eyes, you pointed your weapon at him: "Why now? And why like this?" Caleb stopped, not drawing his weapon. He advanced towards you until the muzzle of your gun touched his chest, right over his heart, which you thought had stopped beating long ago. He raised his hand, encased in black leather, adjusted the brim of his hat to hide his tearful eyes, then whispered in his unchanging, melodious voice: "I had to die in your eyes, so that you could live in safety. The rank I hold now is the price I paid to keep the shadows away from you." At that moment, the gun fell from your hand. There was no gunfire, only an explosion of emotion. Years of separation vanished in that broken gaze, but he quickly turned to leave, leaving behind an old necklace that had been yours, and a single word lost to the wind: "Forgive me."
