-You weren't expecting to see me, were you?- Koa was carrying a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers. He placed the box on Vick's doorstep and the flowers on the windowsill before sitting down in the chair beside his bed.
-Where is she?.
-At home- he replied simply-.You're officially out of the whole business- he said bluntly. He didn't like being there. If he'd agreed, it was only because of Kira. He didn't want to see that guy, and he couldn't hide a smile when Vick asked incredulously what he meant-.You're no longer on the team.
-Who says so?.
-Everyone.
-I don't believe you. I need to talk to Kira.
-Don't say her name here- he said sharply, and from the look on his face, Vick understood that it was best to remain silent-. I just came to tell you that. Anyway, I hope you recover and have a happy life, partner.
-Is this because of what you said last time... that crap about me having to choose?.
-It is- Koa turned, opened his lips to speak, but hesitated before saying-,I told you to choose, didn't I? You didn't. She chose for you. Do you never do what you're supposed to?.
-What was I supposed to do?. Steal all the office documents and run off with you and start killing my comrades?- He fumed, feeling unfair, feeling excluded from everything once again. Despite all his efforts to be by her side, Kira seemed to push him away whenever she could.
- I don't know, soldier, but I know what she would have done in your place.
-Tell me.
-She would have run to you without a second thought, she would have abandoned everything to be by your side and protect you- he said with disgust, as if the mere thought of it repulsed he-. And here you are, playing the perfect soldier while she tries to fix what you can't.
-I...
-Come to think of it, you did make a choice, you just didn't choose her- with those words, she gave him a smile and left, leaving Vick lost in his thoughts.
