As Miriam lay there on the roof, the pressure slowly destroying her body, there were few things that she regretted about her life. But not ones that she might have expected if asked. The lack of friends... making any attempt to be more than just casual aquaintances... for some reason that was what she regretted the most. What would people remember about her, if anything at all? Would she become just another name or number among what must have been massive casualties of this failed mission? Death was something that they knew could come for them at anytime... and before now... it was never something that bothered her. But now? Possibly being remembered as nothing more than that chick who was holed up in the lab all the time...? Depressing.

Verdandi suddenly broke through her thoughts and bringing a small smile to her lips. Heh... as if she could ever truly forget her... Verdi wouldn't have let that happen.

"You know what I mean. All I ever did was either stay in the lab or going out on missions hunting for samples. Outside of one or two people things never-"

Verdandi grumbled, her voice laced with concern and sadness. Two things that the hunter had rarely ever heard come from her weapon before. They had their ups and downs, usually dilemas between Hunter and weapon... but... when it came right down to it, Miriam realized that Verdi had always been there.

Images flashed in front of her eyes as she felt herself fading out. The first time they had met... their first training sessions together. Numerous late nights in the lab where Verdi had kept her company long after the others had gone to bed. Granted, there was usually some kind of exchange where Miriam would go out on the next mission or let Verdi have a few tastes of Fear from whatever creatures they had captive, but still. Despite it being a bit of a love/hate relationship at times, she'd never been truly alone. They had talked about their lives at times, survived numerous battles and arguments among themselves... but now that was all done.

"... I'm so sorry Verdi... and thank you. I... I shouldn't have..."



If she could have laughed just then, she would have. "I'm just... going to sleep for a bit... good night Verdi..."
