Aroma finally opened her eyes 2 days after the incident. Nathan's worried and tired face come into view.
She could still felt a throbbing pain from the area that got shot and the back of her neck that Nathan hit to make her pass out, because he needed to use pressure for it to really work on her.
She just stared at him blankly, while Nathan's hand reached for her face. He stroked her face carefully, while she kept staring at him.
"Tiffany I'm sorry." he said.
Aroma didn't put up a fight anymore. She smiled softly and spoke, "I'm quitting my job." she said.
Nathan nodded his head. He has made up his mind already. Since she lost the ones dear to her, he's willing to make the sacrifice.
He told himself that the organization wouldn't collapse if he mistakenly lost his life on a mission. They will work out something and chose a befitting leader after mourning him.
