They didn't do sweet lies.
They lived on a knife's edge, in a world where failure could easily mean death or worse, and they wouldn't blind themselves to that possibility.
Whenever Irina went on a mission, she didn't say anything like "I'll come back" or "see you later". She wouldn't let what could be her husband's final memory of her be an unfulfilled promise.
But she did always leave him with one thing—her wedding ring, a simple gold band.
And Karasuma would hold onto it until she came back and he placed it on the finger where it belonged.
