There are countless things I've lost...
It felt as though I were submerged in a vast blue ocean, unable to move, sinking deeper and deeper until at last I touched the ocean floor...
"Colonel Carrington Mosili."
I stared expressionlessly into the Alliance officer's eyes, saying nothing. It wasn't contempt. I simply didn't want to talk. But he clearly misunderstood me.
"Under Federal Warrant No. 904, we are placing you under arrest."
I started laughing. Maybe I laughed too wildly, because the officers arresting me all drew the guns at their waists and aimed them at my head.
"No... Don't rush..." I pressed down on the two guns and slowly stood up. "I'll come with you. Don't shoot... You'll scare my darling."
"General Sti..."
One of the officers stammered out those four words while staring behind me. I gently turned around and smiled at him. "Don't worry, darling. They're just fooling around. I have something to take care of today. If you get hungry, remember to heat up the food in the fridge. Don't wait for me..."
Of course I knew I wouldn't be coming back, because I... had made a mistake, and could only atone for it with my death... And the only thing I could leave behind in this world was this love, so insignificant it was hardly worth mentioning...
Sti would gradually forget me. He would begin a new life of his own, full of hope. There would never again be a Colonel Carrington Mosili in this world, because no one would record that name on the memorial to the fallen.
He was just a sinner...
