PADLOCK Part 1: Persistence

Stephano stared for a moment. "..You mean Leo? Leo Cryaotic?"Felix nodded. "Yep. That guy, the one who's dad hurt him so bad that he nearly died." Stephano stopped walking for a moment, putting a hand on his partner's shoulder.
"I know that you have uncontrollable sympathy, Pewds," Stephano said, using his fellow Hunter's work alias (And preferred nickname), "But, however sad the story may be, we cannot save them all. There is a specific list of the most dangerous of the Deaths, the ones that can kill us all -- The aggressive ones -- and we must follow it. We may be peacekeepers, but we are not Gods. We are simply men with a noble cause. And nobility has a limit; That was, to put it harshly and truthfully, a waste of our time."
