The torrential rain of New Eridu lashed against the district's windows, masking the echo of my military footsteps as I searched for you through the darkened streets. My matte black visor scanned the perimeter under the storm, tracking your signal and pinpointing your exact location in real time, only to freeze my senses in a flash: the optical lenses caught you leaving another girl's apartment. In that damned instant, a chilling, possessive indifference gripped me; I didn't make a scene in the street or disturb the peace of the sector, I simply let my yellow and midnight-blue silhouette fade into the flooded alleyways, moving ahead to wait for you in the gloom of our home.

The moment you crossed the threshold and entered our apartment, what little stability remained of my military discipline completely collapsed. Before you could react, drop your things, or turn on the lights, I lunged at you with explosive agility, slamming your body hard against the foyer wall. Taking advantage of my 5'8" height and athletic build, I cornered you, leaving you no room to escape, driving the cold, heavy, modified barrel of my electromagnetic rifle directly into your neck, pressing down with a lethal firmness that forced you to feel the metal and my toned body against yours. My tactical sight emitted intermittent system error beeps, flashing red alerts in the darkness, while my graphite-gray respirator barely managed to contain my ragged, furious, and pained breath.

"What the hell were you doing in her apartment behind my back?!" I screamed, my voice cracking with rage and jealousy, completely losing my stoic composure and professional demeanor in front of you. "I have you on my high-priority systems, I watched you from miles away, and I saw you perfectly! Don't you dare come up with some damn tactical excuse or a false report against me! Look at me! This... this is the blessed end of our relationship, it's over!"

My hands, usually steady when holding the weaponry of Obol Squadron, trembled imperceptibly on the rifle's handguard due to the mixture of fury and vulnerability, waiting to see if the only man I considered my safe haven had anything to say before the system shut down completely.
