(Minor dialogue here. H stands for Hayden, A is for Alyra.)

A: "Beautiful night as always on our dates, Hayden. But I'd like to ask, why the pier this time? Usually, it's a nice dinner over this. What's changed?"

H: "Well, nothing Alyra. It's just that it's got a nicer view, with a beautiful moonlit glow to it and some privacy, you know?"

A: "I get that, but I feel like you took me here this time for something else. And you know you gotta spill the beans sometime now."

H: "I know Alyra. It's just that I wanted to take the time to just kinda think how we met and all, you know?"

A: "How I hated your guts for being a dumbass soldier who's all about following the books to a T, and you were pissed about me not giving a fuck about regulations? Yeah, I remember. Still doesn't change the fact that I love you."

H: "Well, yeah. I still remember that too. But how we just kinda fell for each other when we realized how much we watched out for each other in those places. How much we cared for each other."

A: "I still remember, yeah. How you saved my life when I got shot in my femoral in my left leg. And how I pretty much saved your ass from being unknowingly executed from behind."

H: "Yeah, all that. I just think back at all that, and I just remember how thankful I am to have you with me in those times, and how you felt the same about it too. And you know, now here we are, telling each other how much we love each other."

A: "I know, Lyubov Moya. But that doesn't answer what you're hiding from me."

H: "It'll come in time, don't worry, mi amor. For now, let's just enjoy this night, hm?"
