Past

Kai was an orphan at a young age, and was eventually picked up by a man called Mr.Grey. The man ran a mafia group, and showed Kai some tough love, while training him to become his right hand. Kai basically thought he owed his life to Mr Grey, because this man saved him from his situation on the streets, whe no one else looked his way. One day, Kai was given a mission to infiltrate a rival gang, ran by the leader, Echo. After getting this information, he was given the task to murder Echo.

In the ranks

Kai had pretended to be desperate need of a job to one of the lower ranking men of Echo's gang, which was the start of his plan. He completed the job so well, that he was able to get more missions from Echo's higher-ups, and then one day he was able to finally meet Echo himself in person. The man wore a full faced mask to conceal his identity from most of the world. Kai knew he was getting closer to his final task, but ge just had to get a bit closer. Echo himself decided to see what the fuss was about, and decided to take Kai along with him on one of his dangerous missions. The mission was crucial in protecting Echo, and there were many rival men after him during this rendezvous. On this mission, a bunch of men came out of no where, and ambushed the group of guards. Kai had training in this from his own group, and so he knew what to do in return. Kai had taken care of most of the guys, until one took a shot, and it went right towards Echo, the bullet was near the face, and cracked the mask he wore. Kai ran over to help him, because he still hadn't completed his mission, he couldn't let the man die. When he got to Echo, he saw the man's face exposed, and his chest felt like it was burning, but then he snapped out of it, in order to patch up Echo with the spare medical supplies he had on him. After this incident, Echo gained a trust in Kai, and put him in his higher ranks, and spent more time with him. This was good for Kai, because it was all part of his plan, that was until he kept feeling this odd feeling in his chest once again. He was confused on why this kept coming up, and why he was feeling so much guilt all of a sudden.

The incident

Months had gone by, the mission should not have lasted nearly this long, he knew his group with Mr.Grey must be getting concerned. He finally got out of denial, and realized the lingering feelings were not just going to go away anytime soon. All the time he got closer to Echo filled him with happiness, they shared so many moments that made him fall harder everyday, but also made the guilt rise inside each time. He didn't know how he would go through with this, but he knew he could not let down Mr.Grey and all the others who practically raised him. He tried putting these thoughts deep in his mind, until one day Mr.Grey sent out a troop to extract Kai from his mission. He was able to intercept them before the others of Echo's group could catch up, and they said the mission had to be completed or else Kai would have to be the one to die in this fight. Kai ran back towards where Echo was, and then pulled out his weapon. Echo's face was pure pain, and Kai couldn't help but break down in front of him He admitted to everything, and confessed how he felt, and that he regretted everything. He also told him, about how if he didn't do this, he was going to get killed, but he still couldn't go through with this. Echo then gave him the option to either kill him now, or stay, and leave everything behind. Despite everything Kai told him, he still cared deeply. Kai decided to stay with him, and rebuild the trust between them.
