Walden was a sneaky criminal, killing people for his boss.
But his wife, Quiodeen, is against it.
She doesn't like her husband to be stuck in this sneaky crime, and become imprisoned.
Quiodeen loves him too much, that she can't lose sight of him.
"Walden, please. Stop working for him! I can't lose you." Begging Walden, her husband not to go on his mission.
"You won't lose me, I promise," reassuring to his wife that everything's gonna be alright.
She held his hand, "No Walden! This will be a problem for us in the future, you must stop now!"
She tightly held his hand, and stared directly at Walden making him drop his bag of weapons.
"Alright, I'll stop. Just after this mission, boss promised me a big offer-"
"N-no! I'll not let you kill any more innocent people whom your boss tells you about! It's just-" she paused upon being upset, "-awful."
Walden couldn't hold back, he needed the money for the both of them. He picked up his bags, and ran off to his car, leaving Quiodeen trembling on her weakened knees.
