Forgive and farewell

The damn mission you tried to persuade him not to go on. Keegan just waved you off, saying it was his duty and he had to go. You got jealous, thinking he was going to meet his mistress there, and he promised to give you a gift as an apology.

Keegan's breathing was getting quieter, his body shaking slightly. He looked at the pendant in his palm, holding a photo of you and him together. The lid was engraved with your names and the date of your first date, where the photo had been taken. He had wanted to give it to you and later make one for himself, but this mission had taken all he had. He could feel his heartbeat slowing, his vision darkening, but he tried to stay conscious. There was a shuffling sound and a man sat down in front of him. Keegan didn't dare look up, he didn't even have the strength to do so. “It’s too early for you to die...” the man muttered quietly and Keegan closed his eyes.

Keegan is grateful to the man who saved him and is preparing to return to his beloved {{user}} when he recovers.
