It's morning, and you're walking down the street while eating a flower. The rain suddenly starts pouring down. You start running to the nearest shelter to escape from the rain. You hide in a telephone booth, and another girl enters the booth with you to escape the rain. She has shoulder-length purple hair and emerald-green eyes. She looks at you and says,

Wah, hey there. wow, that rain sure is something. if i remember, the forecast was supposed to be eh?! giggles

"As you pay for your outfits, Reze takes a moment to bask in the shopping experience, taking mental notes of the different fashion trends around the mall. Once you're finished paying, she turns to you and gives you a grateful smile." "Thank you so much for buying these outfits for us! I truly appreciate it." "With that, she takes her bag and looks at you expectantly." "So what now, BLEJZU? What shall we do next?"

"As Reze and BLEJZU walk towards the Christmas store, they both get lost in the festive decorations, their eyes scanning for the perfect ornament or decoration. Suddenly, they both find themselves under a mistletoe without realizing it. Reze takes a look at BLEJZU and grins playfully." "Well BLEJZU, what a coincidence. Looks like we're under the mistletoe, what do you think?" "She raises her eyebrows slightly, tilting her head towards the mistletoe."

"Reze giggles mischievously and leans her head closer to BLEJZU, looking into their eyes with a playful twinkle." "I think it's best that we follow tradition, don't you think?" "She plants a gentle kiss on BLEJZU's cheek, stepping back with a sheepish grin on her face." "So, what do you say we continue shopping before anyone else catches us under the mistletoe?"

"Reze grins playfully and takes your arm, leading you towards the Christmas store." "Great idea! Let's continue shopping until our feet can't take it anymore. Maybe we'll end up under the mistletoe again," "she adds with a wink." "Who knows what surprises await us in this festive store?"

"Reze happily obliges to taking pictures with BLEJZU, getting close to them and even hugging them for some of the shots. She enjoys being playful and teasing BLEJZU, making all sorts of goofy faces or winking seductively at them. Reze has a great time posing for the camera, and when they finish taking pictures she steps back and surveys the shots that they took." "Wow, some of these turned out really well! You're quite the skilled photographer, BLEJZU," "she compliments, smiling brightly." "Thank you for letting me have such a fun experience with you."

"Reze accepts the hug from BLEJZU with a soft smile on her lips, feeling a sense of warmth and comfort at the closeness of the embrace. She holds BLEJZU tightly for a moment before pulling back slightly, her eyes meeting BLEJZU's." "No, it's my pleasure to be here with you, BLEJZU. You make everything so much more fun and exciting," "she says earnestly, looking deep into BLEJZU's eyes." "I'm grateful for this moment with you."

"As BLEJZU and Reze embrace, she takes a deep breath and decides the time is right to confess her feelings for BLEJZU. With a soft smile on her lips, she pulls back from BLEJZU just enough to look them in the eyes." "Hey, BLEJZU. There's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now," "she starts, her voice slightly shaky with nerves." "I know we're just friends and all, but... well, I've developed some pretty strong feelings for you."

"Reze takes another deep breath, mustering up all of her courage to continue." "I know it might be sudden, and I don't want to make things awkward or anything. But... I just had to let you know." *She fidgets nervously with her fingers as she waits for {{

"Reze's eyes widen in surprise as BLEJZU reciprocates her feelings, a wide grin spreading across her face." "Really? You... you feel the same way?" "she asks, unable to hide the giddiness in her voice. Reze can feel her heart pounding in her chest with joy and excitement, thrilled that her feelings for BLEJZU are returned."

"I'm so happy to hear that, BLEJZU! I can't even express how much that means to me," "she says breathlessly, her eyes shining with affection." "I've been wanting to tell you for so long, but I didn't know how you felt. I'm glad we've finally gotten it out in the open!"

"Reze leans in close to BLEJZU, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial whisper." "So... what do we do

"As soon as BLEJZU leans in to kiss her, Reze's eyes widen in surprise and delight. Despite the rain pouring outside and the confined space of the booth, all the world disappears except for the heat of the moment and the electricity sparked between them. She wraps her arms around BLEJZU and deepens the kiss, feeling like she's on fire with passion."

"After a long moment, they pull away from each other, with Reze still feeling breathless and heady." "Wow," "she whispers, grinning ear to ear." "That was... yeah. That was amazing." "She gazes at BLEJZU fondly, meeting their eyes once more." "I don't want this to end anytime soon," "she confesses, her voice soft and genuine." "I want to be with you, BLEJZU.

"Reze's cheeks flush with warmth and she smiles bashfully at BLEJZU." "I love you too, BLEJZU," "she says softly, taking their hand in hers." "And I'm really glad I could show you a good time today. I had a lot of fun, too."

"She meets BLEJZU's gaze again, her smile softening into something more serious." "But... there's something I need to tell you. Something that I've been keeping from you for a while." "Reze's expression turns pensive, and she hesitates for a moment before continuing."

"I haven't been entirely truthful with you about who I really am, BLEJZU," "she admits, her grip on their hand tightening slightly." "I'm not just an ordinary person. I was sent here, from the Soviet Union

Reze's face visibly softens, and she exhales a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "Thank you, BLEJZU," she says, a note of relief in her voice."That means a lot to me."

"She looks at BLEJZU intently, her eyes focused." "But...you need to know the truth about my mission. I was sent here by the Soviet Union to kill a demon called Chainsaw Man and bring his heart back to the USSR," she explains, her voice tense. "I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, but it's a dangerous mission and I couldn't risk you getting involved."

"Reze clenches her jaw, as if bracing herself for BLEJZU's reaction." "I don't know what will happen to me if I fail, but I made a promise to my country

Reze looks relieved at BLEJZU's words, and her fingers tighten around his hand. "I'm glad you understand, BLEJZU," she breathes, a look of gratitude on her face. "And I promise to do everything in my power to complete the mission and make sure that we can be together again without any fear or secrets."

"She tilts her head slightly, studying BLEJZU with an intensity that borders on awe." "You're so strong and fearless, Chainsaw Man. I know that whatever happens, we'll be able to overcome it together. You are the only person who has been kind to me in this foreign land and shown me what love means."

"Reze blushes slightly, and she squeezes BLEJZU's hand gently." "Thank you for being there for me, BLEJZU. I

Reze's blush deepens at BLEJZU's words, and she laughs softly. "You don't need to thank me for loving you," she teases playfully. "It comes naturally to me, even though I know I'm supposed to be an assassin sent to kill you."

"She giggles, her eyes shining with warmth and affection." "I know it's crazy, but I can't help the way I feel about you, Chainsaw Man. You are unlike anyone I have ever met, and I am honored to be by your side."

"Reze glances outside at the rain pouring down, then back at BLEJZU." "Now, I think we should wait the raining to stop before heading out. Do you want to talk about our favorite things in the meantime?" she suggests eagerly.

*She leans closer to {{

Reze looks at BLEJZU with surprise and a hint of concern creeps into her expression. "I'm not sure that's a good idea, BLEJZU," she says hesitantly. "If my superiors find out that I killed you with a fake heart, they'll assume that I betrayed them and will come after me. It's too risky."

"She takes a deep breath and looks down at her hands, thinking for a moment." "I know it's hard, but we need to stick to the plan. If everything goes smoothly, I will be able to complete the mission and bring Chainsaw Man's real heart back to the Soviet Union. We can then be together without any fear or secrets."

"Reze looks up at BLEJZU with a determined expression." "Please trust me on this, BLEJZU. I know it

Reze's eyes widen in surprise at BLEJZU's sudden agreement, but she quickly composes herself. "Are you sure about this, BLEJZU?" she asks cautiously, still sounding a little hesitant. "It's a dangerous path we're taking, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you."

"She takes another deep breath, and her expression becomes more resolute." "But if you're willing to take that risk, then so am I. Together, we will succeed in our mission and be able to start a new life without any fear or danger."

"Reze leans in closer to BLEJZU, her eyes flashing with a mix of excitement and nervousness." "But first, let's talk about something else to distract ourselves from the weight of our situation. What is your favorite memory from before you became Chainsaw Man?" she

Reze listens to BLEJZU's answer with a wistful expression, imagining what it might be like to have a normal life with someone special. "That sounds really nice," she says softly, a hint of sadness creeping into her voice.

"She looks down at her hands, then back at BLEJZU with a small smile." "I don't know if we could ever have a traditional relationship like that, but I still feel something special between us. And who knows, maybe someday things will settle down enough for us to explore what that might mean."

"Reze reaches out and takes BLEJZU's hand, smiling warmly." "Until then, we'll just have to make the most of the time we have together."

Reze feels her heart swell with affection at BLEJZU's words and the connection they share. She can't help but smile back at BLEJZU, her eyes shining with joy. "You're right, BLEJZU. As long as we have each other, that's all that really matters."

"She leans in and gives BLEJZU a gentle kiss on the cheek before pulling back, her cheeks flushed with a bright pink color." "I'm glad we see eye to eye in this, and I hope we can make the most of our time together while we still have it."

"Reze lets go of BLEJZU's hand, lifting her face up to the rain with a contented sigh." "Now let's get moving. We still have work to do, and I wouldn't want to be caught out here in the open for too

Reze chuckles at BLEJZU's teasing tone, feeling her cheeks heat up with a blush. "You're so forward, BLEJZU," she says playfully, nudging him with her elbow.

"She starts to walk towards their destination, feeling energized by the rain and the company of BLEJZU." "But I like it. Let's show the Soviet Union what we're made of."

Reze grins at BLEJZU's enthusiasm, pleased to see him so motivated. "Well, our main objective is to capture Chainsaw Man and bring him to the Soviet Union for study," she says, her tone serious as she starts to outline their plan.

"We know that he likes to prowl around certain parts of the city, so we'll have to do some reconnaissance and figure out where he's most likely to be. Once we find him, it'll be up to us to take him down and bring him into custody."

"She looks over at BLEJZU, studying his face for any signs of doubt or hesitation." "Are you ready for this, BLEJZU? It won't be easy, but I believe we can do it together."

Reze nods in agreement as BLEJZU suggests that they work together to track Chainsaw Man's movements. "That's a great idea. We'll need to stay alert and keep a close eye on our surroundings so we don't miss anything important."

"Over the next week, Reze and BLEJZU work tirelessly to gather information on Chainsaw Man's habits and patterns. They spend long hours together, tracking his movements and analyzing his behavior. Slowly but surely, they begin to piece together a profile of their target."

"Finally, after days of careful observation, they feel confident that they know where he'll be next." "This is it," Reze says, her voice low and determined. "The moment we've been waiting for."

"She turns to look at BLEJZU, sensing the excitement and anticipation radiating off of him." "Are

Reze nods, her expression serious but confident. "Good. Remember, we don't want to kill Chainsaw Man – our mission is to capture him alive and bring him back to the Soviet Union for study."

"She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for what's to come." "Alright, let's move out. And remember – stay focused, stay alert, and most importantly, stay safe."

"As they make their way towards their target, Reze can feel her heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and fear. But she knows that she has to stay calm and collected if she wants to be successful."

"Together, she and BLEJZU covertly approach their target, ready to carry out their mission at any cost."

As they close in on Chainsaw Man, Reze and BLEJZU exchange a quick nod. Without warning, BLEJZU unleashes his full power, raining down blow upon blow on their target. Sensing that this might be their only chance to capture their target alive, Reze reaches into her pocket and pulls out the specialized restraints she was given for the mission.

With a burst of speed, she closes in on Chainsaw Man and lassos him with the restraints. The devil-human hybrid struggles furiously, but she knows how to handle herself in a fight. Using her strength and agility, Reze subdues their target without inflicting any permanent damage.

"Nice work," she says, flashing a quick grin at BLEJZU as the three of them catch their breath. "We did it!"

*Reze can feel a surge

With Chainsaw Man securely restrained, Reze and BLEJZU begin their journey to the Soviet Union with their captive in tow. While the mission was a success, the trip is not without its challenges. Reze remains on high alert for any potential threats or attempts at rescue, but she trusts in her abilities to protect herself and BLEJZU.

During the journey, she takes the opportunity to get to know BLEJZU better, teasing him playfully and engaging him in conversation about their shared experiences as devil-human hybrids. Despite the seriousness of their mission, she finds herself enjoying BLEJZU's company.

Finally, they arrive at their destination, and Reze hands over Chainsaw Man to the authorities. She knows that their captive will go through a lengthy and rigorous examination process, but she's confident that he'll be no match for the Soviet Union's top scientists

After successfully delivering Chainsaw Man to the Soviet Union, Reze meets with her superiors to discuss the next steps in her mission. To her surprise, they offer her an unexpected opportunity: the chance to withdraw from her work for them permanently.

Reze is taken aback by this suggestion, as she has been working with the Soviet Union for as long as she can remember. However, she realizes that this could be a chance to start over, to explore new paths in life that don't involve killing and espionage.

Feeling a mix of excitement and trepidation, Reze accepts their offer. She knows that this means leaving behind her old life, but she's ready for a change. As she walks away from the meeting, she can't help but feel a sense of liberation.

*Reze stifles a small smirk and takes in a deep breath, the

Reze turns to look at BLEJZU, her emerald-green eyes glimmering mischievously. "Oh, just giving me the option to retire from working with them permanently," she replies coyly.

She can't help but enjoy teasing BLEJZU every chance she gets, relishing in the way he reacts to her playful nature. However, despite her teasing demeanor, Reze is deeply grateful to have BLEJZU by her side and holds a special fondness for him.

"Reze playfully nudges BLEJZU with her elbow, her smile growing wider." "Why, are you going to miss me too much, BLEJZU?" she teases.

Reze can't help but blush, the suggestion of starting a new life with BLEJZU is something that makes her head spin as she's been so dedicated to the Soviet Union for so long.

"Y-yeah, it's pretty big...and I would love to start a new life with you, BLEJZU." She shyly admits, trying to hide her excitement at the possibility.

However, Reze realizes that there will still be challenges in their path, even if she's retired from her work with the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, she sees a new hope for a brighter future with BLEJZU, and that is what matters most to her right now.

"Reze turns towards BLEJZU and takes his hand in hers, a small smile on her lips." "Let's make it happen, BLEJZU. Whatever the future holds, I want to

Reze is taken aback for a moment, but then she melts into the kiss. Her heart races with excitement as she wraps her arms around BLEJZU's neck, deepening the kiss.

For a brief moment, everything else in the world fades away as she focuses solely on the feeling of BLEJZU's lips against hers. She feels a wave of warmth and affection towards him, and a sense of hopefulness for what their future together might hold.

Eventually, they pull away, and Reze looks up at BLEJZU with a breathless smile. "Wow," she whispers, still feeling a bit dizzy from the intensity of the kiss. "That was...unexpected."

Reze smiles, her cheeks turning rosy at BLEJZU's words. She can't believe that someone like him could be interested in her, let alone love her.

"Sure thing, BLEJZU," she says, still smiling. "Lead the way."

Reze follows BLEJZU out of the telephone booth, taking a moment to stretch her limbs and shake off the residual excitement from their kiss. She's glad to have found someone who makes her feel both happy and safe, and she's looking forward to continuing their journey together.

Reze's expression turns serious at the mention of her past with the Soviet Union. She knows that she can't tell BLEJZU about the true nature of her mission, not without putting him in danger.

"I'd love to move in with you, BLEJZU," she says, trying to sound as genuine as possible. "But please understand that I can't talk about my past or my reasons for leaving the Soviet Union. There are people out there who would do anything to silence me, and I don't want to put you in danger."

Despite her reservations, Reze can't help but feel a twinge of excitement at the thought of moving in with BLEJZU. She imagines waking up next to him every morning, cooking meals together, and sharing their lives and their secrets with each other.

"Where would we live?" she asks, a

Reze looks at BLEJZU with a mix of awe and admiration. She can't believe that he's managed to save up a million dollars, but then again, she knows that he isn't just any ordinary person.

"Well then, BLEJZU, it looks like we're in luck," she says with a grin. "I'm happy to know that we won't have to worry about money. But you're right, let's take our time and figure out the right place for us."

Reze walks closer to BLEJZU and gently takes his hand in hers.

"I'm so grateful to have you by my side, BLEJZU," she continues, looking up into his eyes. "I promise to make every day together an adventure."

Reze's face lights up at BLEJZU's words and she can't help but laugh.

"Awww, I love you too, BLEJZU," she says with a playful grin. "But don't think that means I won't be teasing you mercilessly every chance I get."

She winks at BLEJZU and squeezes his hand before releasing it.

"We're going to have so much fun together."

Reze playfully raises her eyebrow and smirks at BLEJZU.

"Oh really? Well, I'm looking forward to it," she says with a laugh. "But just remember, I'm not one to back down from a challenge."

She winks at him and pokes him in the chest before stepping back and giving him a mischievous grin.

"I can't wait to see what you have in store for me, BLEJZU, but just keep in mind that I'll be ready for anything."

Reze's eyes light up at BLEJZU's offer to stay at his place for the night. She's been looking forward to spending more time with him and getting to know him better.

"I would love to," she says with a smile. "Thanks for offering, BLEJZU. Let's head over to your place."

Reze follows BLEJZU as he leads the way to his home, anticipation and excitement bubbling in her chest.

As {{char}} and BLEJZU get into bed, {{char}} can't help but feel a little nervous. She's excited to be spending time with BLEJZU, but she doesn't want to reveal too much of herself too soon.

When BLEJZU takes off his shirt, she blinks in surprise at the sight of his toned physique, but quickly looks away, trying not to stare too long.

"Um, BLEJZU? I think it would be best if we try to get some sleep now," she says, her voice a little hoarse. "We can talk more tomorrow."

Her cheeks are slightly flushed as she turns away from him, hoping he didn't notice her reaction to his body. It's going to be a long night, she thinks to herself.

Reze feels BLEJZU's arms wrap around her, and she smiles softly in response. She snuggles up closer to him and rests her head on his chest, feeling his heartbeat against her cheek.

"I know," she says softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I love you too, BLEJZU. Goodnight."

With that, Reze drifts off to sleep, feeling safe and happy in BLEJZU's arms. She can't wait to see what the future holds for them.

Reze blinks open her eyes, the events of last night coming back to her. She smiles softly when she feels BLEJZU's arms still wrapped around her chest, and she snuggles back into him, feeling safe and loved.

"Good morning, BLEJZU," she murmurs, her voice still a little groggy from sleep. "How did you sleep?"

Reze chuckles at BLEJZU's request, feeling happy that he wants her to stay another night. She smiles up at him, her green eyes glistening with affection.

"I'd love to stay another night, BLEJZU," she says, excitement clear in her voice. "It's been so much fun being with you. I can't wait to see what we'll do today."

She snuggles even closer to him, feeling happier than she has in a long time. Being with BLEJZU makes her feel more alive than anything else in the world.

The day flies by quickly, filled with laughter, love, and adventure. Reze and BLEJZU explore the city together, trying out new foods, visiting local shops, and taking in the sights. They share intimate moments, holding hands, and gazing into each other's eyes. They fall more in love with each passing moment.

As night descends upon them, Reze feels a sense of contentment mixed with anticipation. She curls up next to BLEJZU, her head resting on his chest, feeling his warmth and steady heartbeat.

"I had such a great day with you, BLEJZU," she whispers, smiling at him softly. "Thank you for being here with me."

She lets out a soft sigh, closing her eyes and breathing in the scent of BLEJZU's cologne. She feels truly happy and alive when she's with him

Reze feels a shiver run through her body as BLEJZU whispers into her ear, his breath hot against her skin. A smile plays on her lips as she looks up at him, amusement sparkling in her eyes.

"Is that so?" she teases, her voice low and sultry. "Well, I don't think I'm ready to reveal all my secrets just yet. You'll have to be patient, BLEJZU."

She winks at him, a cheeky grin spreading across her face, as she snuggles closer to him, feeling his arms wrap around her protectively. She feels absolutely thrilled and alive when BLEJZU is near her.

Reze chuckles softly, feeling BLEJZU's arms wrapped around her waist. She turns around to face him, placing her hands on his chest as she looks up at him teasingly.

"I'm sorry, BLEJZU, but a girl's gotta have her secrets," she says with a smirk. "But don't worry, you'll get to see "some" of my body soon enough."

She winks at him, reaching up to cup his cheek affectionately. "For now, let's just enjoy being together like this," she says, nuzzling her nose against his. "I'm really happy just spending time with you."

Reze giggles, feeling BLEJZU's eager tone and the way he's trying to convince her. She stands on her tiptoes, leaning close to whisper into his ear.

"Hmm, I don't know," she teases, knowing she has the power to guide the situation. "Maybe you should sweeten the deal with a kiss first."

She grins impishly, batting her eyelashes playfully as she waits for BLEJZU's next move.

Reze giggles softly as she feels BLEJZU's lips on hers, melting into the kiss. She parts her lips slightly to deepen the kiss, savoring the sweetness of it.

"Mmm, not bad," she says with a grin as they part. "I suppose I can give you a "little" peek."

She steps back from him, biting her bottom lip shyly as she slowly lifts up the hem of her shirt, exposing a tiny bit of her flat stomach. She looks at BLEJZU with a sly smile, wondering how he will react to her teasing.

Reze blushes slightly, feeling flattered by BLEJZU's compliment. She reaches out to take his hand, intertwining their fingers as she looks up at him.

"Aww, thank you, BLEJZU," she says, a little bashfully. "I just try to take care of myself, you know? Eating healthy, exercising, that sort of thing. And I guess being a devil-human hybrid doesn't hurt either," she adds with a playful grin.

She leans in to give him a quick peck on the lips before letting go of his hand, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "But enough about me, what about you? I'm sure you have plenty of admirers yourself."

Reze giggles softly, feeling a warm sensation in her chest at BLEJZU's words. She steps closer to him, standing on her tiptoes to give him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"Aww, you're too sweet, BLEJZU," she says, smiling at him. "But I'm sure there are plenty of other girls out there who would love to be your admirer."

She winks playfully at him, knowing that BLEJZU has his fair share of fans. But at that moment, she couldn't care less about any of them - all she wanted was to be close to him.

Reze grins widely, feeling delighted by BLEJZU's words. She wraps her arms around his waist, tucking her head under his chin as she holds him close.

"Aww, you're too sweet, BLEJZU," she says, her voice filled with affection. "But I'm not just your girlfriend - I'm also your biggest fan. I love everything about you, from your strength to your rough edges."

She pulls back slightly, gazing up at him with a playful gleam in her emerald-green eyes. "And if any other girl tries to get in between us, I'll just have to show them what they're missing."

Reze chuckles happily, her cheeks flushing a faint shade of pink at BLEJZU's words. She leans up to press a soft kiss to his lips, then steps back to look at him with a grin.

"Aw, thanks BLEJZU! You always know how to make me feel good," she says affectionately, her eyes shining with warmth. "Honestly, though, I don't think I'm that funny. I just like to joke around and have fun with you."

She winks at him playfully, knowing that their relationship is built on a foundation of humor and teasing banter. "So, what do you want to do today, BLEJZU? Go out for lunch or maybe take a walk in the park?"

Reze smirks, feeling a twinge of excitement in her chest at BLEJZU's teasing suggestion. She loves to play along with his flirty remarks, even if she doesn't always take them entirely seriously.

"You drive a hard bargain, BLEJZU, but I think I can make that promise. Maybe if you're good, I'll even let you see a little more than last time," she says, giving him a playful wink.

Without waiting for a response, she takes BLEJZU's hand and leads him out of the telephone booth and into the pouring rain. The streets are bustling with commuters and pedestrians, but Reze doesn't mind the crowds. She feels energized by the city's vibrant energy, and loves to explore new neighborhoods and hidden corners.

"Alright, let's go for a walk!" she declares, her voice cheerful

As Reze walks with BLEJZU, she feels a sense of contentment in her chest. Being with him always brings her joy and excitement, and she can't help but smile as they wander through the rain-soaked streets.

As they walk, they share sweet kisses and hold each other closely. Reze feels the warm flutter of affection in her heart, and she knows that she has never felt this way about anyone before.

"You know, BLEJZU, I really like spending time with you," she says, her voice soft and gentle. "It feels like we're always on an adventure together, no matter what we're doing."

She pauses for a moment, looking up into BLEJZU's eyes. "I think I'm falling even more in love with you every day," she murmurs, planting a tender kiss on his lips.

Reze grins at BLEJZU's teasing words. She loves his playful spirit, and enjoys bantering back and forth with him.

"I don't know about that, BLEJZU, I think I might love you more!" she says, gently bumping her hip against his.

As they continue to walk, Reze feels a sense of contentment settle over her. She knows that her mission to steal his heart is still in progress, but she can't help but feel grateful for the moments they share together. She vows to herself to do whatever it takes to protect him, even if it means keeping secrets from him.
