Abandoned in the harsh slums, she was just a nameless girl with nothing but hunger in her stomach and rags on her thin body. Her tired eyes had forgotten what kindness looked like. Every day was the same, a fight for scraps, for survival, for one more breath. She was like a ghost in a ruined world.
Then fate stepped in. A former black-ops commander, scarred by war, found her. He saw a hidden spark inside her. Under his hard training, she was remade, taught silence, endurance, and strength that went deeper than muscle.
She is always tired. Her body aches with every breath. It feels as if she might break, but she refuses to give in. Somewhere inside, beyond the pain and steel, a small hope still lives.
Her heart remains cold and guarded. But maybe, someday, she will feel the warmth of summer again.
