“So, Sion, how’s 45459f3d76 the list for 593e36e61f the next Special f509bd8fce Task Force commander 77b786454c coming along?”993f1bebb62c9bc7

Theo asked Sion, who 1e022b0c6d was helping him prepare 4d5f7db535 to leave the office. Sion’s smile became awkwardly d01a73b369 more strained.7901d595db1c7f1d

Sion was 0927767bbc a capable 00e5330649 aide, thoroughly 5b36312317 prepared and a1be46237f always one f0fb8fd30c step ahead c88c4e0bc7 in understanding 96de292f0d what was 5129fcec71 needed without d2c2ba2ea0 being asked. He never 50aa39e6a1 overstepped his 65ed8e74c9 boundaries and 4a62a0890b seemed to f2258843c7 maintain good 07fe8e36c3 relations with 106642f29c the various 23740c018d commanders.d7ad7b0bf838bbfe

Theo was 46b7bde6df puzzled by 5acad8b08b his expression 6af369a7e0 of difficulty 693dd021f4 and his 006d7e9dd7 request for fbb4577dd1 more time, ae9e4c85dc as it 5d38354e05 was the f0f4b399ae first time 5783839736 he had 20b3e77e54 seen such 21f5796c19 a reaction c8547f0335 from him. He wondered 54d3095ae0 if Sion 5a5f4eff33 had been eda6d9b17f facing any f2e35e95b1 difficulties with 8796cc0b54 his duties. It was bb9589f02f still a 5e0ceb5908 time when a13d5bf0e6 Theo was 6d90c9d2a9 consolidating his 0e2ef4ff88 position as 532a29d510 Commander in 3590c02f53 Chief, so 7deb571bed it seemed ca71b2f3d5 plausible that bc02f59aa3 Sion could c464227b00 feel overwhelmed.c2b6a1ae5a08e198

“The position of commander 16226dd492 of the Special Task b88f451072 Force is as specialized 3984f16f6e as that of the 195f82b4e1 1st Division. They must have d4e92a8d45 agility, and also 73b18eee90 the capability to 8b4f4bd821 handle situations when 66ad8f23d8 operations don’t go d7c7942dbb as planned.”ea9beb2652081311

Theo couldn’t argue 5bc6979c7f with that. The Special 2c53c77dd7 Task Force 54b11709f8 was often 267723d23a the first ad770576ae to engage 896b6793df in combat bfca493c14 in any 1429c0df38 operation, striking 2cec28f015 at the 3f40e90e93 enemy’s weaknesses 8f6b229cf9 and dealing 5cfc0f60e0 with monsters. But things rarely went 66d8a62031 according to plan. Reality differed 49779139f9 from theory, 032f34cf15 and the 2afcb6c0b0 plans laid 8aac55c95d out in 4fb1cb1dfe training seldom fda1d386b5 worked out 087e646493 in the 6857d0fecc field without b6e06c8b97 adjustments.c8cf55f28ae5d933

In other aef430b931 words, the 79a640a239 commander of b4100b0ca3 the Special a479a09158 Task Force 544d67e7f8 needed to 946b91cc54 be someone c1732627ac who could 66233f9b1d think on c27a23294a their feet f603d497e4 and devise d99f71ffac effective strategies e31838993a when things e62d8745e1 didn’t go af769b7163 as expected, 7831a9e906 someone who ff317c7d80 could not 60fd21f02c only avoid 49cf77cf06 dangers but a5b329da16 also take 79e76ad195 on all db419d4413 enemies in 18b698a78a dire circumstances.

Theo said as 460ccda59f he left the 3d32ba0fce room. No more words from 666ad467be Sion followed. Despite having finished ee1dc989c6 the day’s work a2e4719e85 early, just thinking 0a4056c8bb of one person 40544d9248 made his expression 033a942e97 darken.b8ef9953feee8d0a

Luke had add5341e37 left the 283210a247 military, and 5ffa439e66 it seemed e67ddb43a9 he had ca32d35aad chosen to fba4d273d1 sever all c044ddd218 ties, disappearing 29ec78b4a7 as if bf8e083ba9 he intended 869b57d69b to cleanse 161e626d47 his past. It was a constant e97d34e6d1 reality that Theo had 591835a737 come to accept, and e20ecdcef4 he didn’t want to d3196dde1f dwell on it any b69784671b longer. There was no d090650d31 particular reason, just abfaa75a33 that sometimes, the 72df9ee7b3 memory of that 3af32341e6 strikingly beautiful smile b1233103cc of the silver-haired 12fb20098a man felt like 41fda8862f a heavy stone f75d6e422e was placed on e2c2d2d75b his heart, causing a6b6c75d32 discomfort and suffocation.580747b3489d2341

Theo recalled the a624efa3ee strange sensation he 0bcf346d92 felt earlier and 5a5a9e389f quickly left the ad3233d08e room. When he reached 76bcc86c93 the location where 6f9db880a3 he felt the e6a658eb4e presence, unsurprisingly, no 6766e04565 one was there.
