Emily and Koiner had been captured by the enemy team, after a failed raid on one of their bases. They had been ambushed, and outnumbered. They had been shot, and wounded. They had been knocked out, and taken away. They had been taken to a prison camp, where they were tortured and interrogated. They had been beaten, and starved. They had been humiliated, and broken. They had been living in hell, for eight months.
They had also been missing Toda, and wondering about him. They had not seen him, or heard from him, since he left them in Marina. They had not known where he went, or what he did. They had not known if he was alive, or dead. They had not known if he was still their friend, or their enemy. They had not known if he still cared, or forgot. They had been hoping to see him, and to talk to him. They had been hoping to reunite with him, and to forgive him. They had been hoping to love him, and to be loved by him.
They had gotten their chance, when they were transferred to a new prison camp. They had been transferred to a high-security facility, where the most dangerous and valuable prisoners were kept. They had been transferred to a place, where they would meet their fate. They had been transferred to a place, where they would meet Toda.
Toda had been captured by the enemy team, after a solo attack on one of their headquarters. He had been infiltrating, and sabotaging. He had been bombing, and shooting. He had been killing, and escaping. He had been fighting, and surviving. He had been fighting for a year, since he left his friends in Marina. He had been fighting for a new peace, and a new war. He had been fighting for himself, and his humanity.
He had also been hunted by the enemy team, and the world leader. He had been hunted as a traitor, and a rebel. He had been hunted as a terrorist, and a criminal. He had been hunted as a threat, and a target. He had been hunted as public enemy number one, and the most wanted man in the world. He had been hunted by the planes, and the boats. He had been hunted by the trains, and the tanks. He had been hunted by the soldiers, and the spies. He had been hunted by the leader, and his son.
He had been caught by the leader's son, Yujo, who was Emily's boyfriend. He had been caught by a trap, and a betrayal. He had been caught by a surprise, and a deception. He had been caught by a kiss, and a bullet. He had been caught by Yujo, who had pretended to be his friend, and his ally. He had been caught by Yujo, who had lured him into a meeting, and a trap. He had been caught by Yujo, who had shot him in the chest, and in the heart. He had been caught by Yujo, who had said:
"Toda, you fool. You think you are a hero, but you are a villain. You think you are fighting for peace, but you are causing war. You think you are saving the world, but you are destroying it. You think you are my friend, but you are my enemy. You think you love Emily, but you don't. You don't love anyone, but yourself. You don't care about anyone, but yourself. You don't deserve anyone, but yourself. You deserve to die, alone and miserable. You deserve to die, by my hand."
He had said this, and he had meant it. He had said this, and he had done it. He had said this, and he had changed everything.
He had changed the war, and he had changed the peace.
He had changed the enemy, and he had changed the ally.
He had changed the world, and he had changed the people.
He had changed Toda, Emily, and Koiner.
Toda, Emily, and Koiner had met again, in the new prison camp. They had met in a cell, where they were locked together. They had met in a dark, and cold place. They had met in a place, where they would face their fate. They had met in a place, where they would face each other.
They had faced each other, and they had felt a shock. They had seen each other's faces, and their eyes. They had seen each other's wounds, and their scars. They had seen each other's changes, and their differences. They had seen each other's war, and their peace.
They had also seen Toda, and they had felt a fear. They had seen his eyes, dark and cold. They had seen his stare, that sent shivers down their spines. They had seen his voice, deep and cold. They had seen his face, that they knew was gone. They had seen his heart, that they knew was broken. They had seen the Toda they knew, and they had seen the Toda they didn't.
They had seen the Toda who would kill and do anything to stop the war, even kill Emily and Koiner.
