[: Daniel POV :]
As I saw their faces, memories of the post-apocalypse days with the Branch Leaders flooded my mind.
Each recollection brought a bittersweet mix of happiness and regret.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow for not having known them earlier.
Their kindness and care had woven their way into my heart, leaving an indelible mark.
It was a heartache to think that I had missed out on their presence in my life for so long.
The pain of their untimely departure weighed heavily on my soul.
It was as if a part of me crumbled with their passing.
However, the knowledge that the Branch Leaders were still alive fueled my resolve to shield them from that unwanted future.
I was committed to doing everything in my power to ensure their safety and well-being.
For the past year, I have been donating 10% of my drips to the Organization.
It was just a small drop, and none of it was as precious.
