They Went Missing Together

"Doesn't it hurt?"

In response, Pierre snorted. "Of course it freaking hurts! Do you even need to ask?" It wasn't until then that she realized she had asked a pointless question. They were both only human, so he would of course feel pain as much as she could, but it was just that he had a higher tolerance to it.

All of a sudden, she was reminded of a rumor she heard about him a few years back. He had been serving in the military for five years, but something happened that caused him to retire.

According to the rumors, it was because he broke the military's code. "Why did you retire from the army? I heard you broke the code, but what exactly was the mistake that you made?"

Without even opening his eyes, he answered, "I forced myself on another woman."

Her eyes went wide as soon as she heard that. "That's bullsh*t! How could you even get the chance to do that?"

Smiling, he made no reply. She knew he was tired, so she didn't press on.
