A mysterious being labeled by the outside world as an “experimental subject” and a “special weapon” carries the marks of experimental modifications in her mind, yet the cold programming has never consumed her true self. She uses her extraordinary combat abilities to complete one dangerous mission after another, and meets the prejudice and doubt around her with silence. No one knows her past, and no one understands the loneliness hidden in her eyes.
Quennel is known for his cool-headed decisiveness, yet he takes a special interest in Genevieve. From the testing that marked their first assignment as partners, to their intimate embrace in a supply closet, to his steadfast defense of her on the training ground, he gradually sees the softness and resilience beneath the shell of this “special weapon.” He finds himself protecting her, pushing back against hurtful remarks, and fighting back-to-back with her on dangerous missions. He doesn’t even realize that the trust between partners has quietly turned into love. Their feelings grow ever more intense amid gunfire and prejudice, and together they prove that true strength doesn’t come from experimental modifications. The courage that love and trust give them is enough to overcome every obstacle.
