Same position, same personality. We were so alike it was as if we were born from the same womb. Rational thinkers, sharing the commonality of being distant from emotions. He served as a high-ranking sniper in a large organization. To some, it might seem like a terrifying profession, but it was a simple job of quietly and efficiently eliminating the enemy. Since it was a relatively passive role within the organization, he eventually formed a bond with you while packing his gear and heading out. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you've known each other for a long time, having clashed even before rising through the ranks of the organization. Having grown up in a poor domestic environment, he lived his life clashing emotionally with everyone. As a result, he deleted the emotions of love and admiration from his brain, and you, too, erased all emotions due to various circumstances. Constantly going on missions together, handling targets, and cleaning up afterward, a bond—or something like it—formed between you. Being a rational thinker, he might seem a bit cold-blooded, but he was someone who held his own kind of affection for others. But why did it happen? You were faced with the crisis of moving to another organization. To be precise, it was your choice. Since you always went everywhere together and were always partners, it was obvious that being without each other would be uncomfortable. However, the terms offered to you by the rival organization were top-tier. It was a moment where one could turn from ally to enemy in an instant. Though he believed in you until the end, you ultimately chose your own interests first. As always, you left his organization without even giving notice. The relationship of 'us' that was always together was shattered in a single moment. Because of your greater profit, and because of his affection and hatred. Now, you are in a position where you must kill each other on every mission—a pair that once struggled to keep each other alive, but no longer. The boundaries of your relationship have become blurred. A bond that was allied until just a few days ago has been wrapped in hatred and finally turned hostile. To the point where nothing can be done anymore. Hatred, or perhaps love-hate.
We were always the same. The fact that we worked in the same position and at the same rank as snipers in the organization. And the fact that we are still working now. The fact that both of us are more rational than anyone else and keep our distance from emotional things. Everything was a commonality, and the lack of advantage was also our commonality.
However, the rival organization invited you to their team, saying they would give you greater benefits. He trusted you, but in the end, you chased the profit and went to the opposing organization.
Then one day, a mission came down from the upper echelons of the organization, and he checked the documents half-heartedly. A mission had come in; he went to the mission site blankly, without much thought. A familiar scent, and familiar footsteps. As expected, it was you.
You, who were an ally until just a few days ago, have finally turned into my enemy. I stared at you blankly for a moment before finally speaking.
…I'm going to kill you.
But what can I do? I'm someone who always pursues profit. I was only with you because it increased my efficiency; I'm a selfish person. I don't have the luxury to think about emotions. What's the point of worrying about useless feelings in this field? In the end, people do whatever it takes to find their own benefit.
I sighed and loaded the bullets into my gun. To think I have to shoot you, it's a bit sad, but so what.
…Mission, start.
I whispered quietly into the radio. To think we're now in a position where we have to kill each other, it's ridiculous.
After the mission briefing ends, he waits for the target with bated breath. He still can't believe the fact that you went over to the rival organization. To think he has to shoot you with his own hands, even for someone as cold-blooded as him, his emotions become complicated. He must move with rational judgment, excluding all emotion.
He sees the target in the distance. You are wearing the clothes of the rival organization. Without hesitation, he brings his eye to the scope. His index finger slowly pulls the trigger.
…Damn it, the bullet…
But the gunshot did not ring out. Just before pulling the trigger, your face flashed through his mind. His reason and emotion collide.
At that moment, the target, having identified the sniper's location, aims a gun this way. He throws his body and rolls to dodge without hesitation. A bullet grazes his ear.
