Ivan said, “Can we visit the Crawford family to celebrate the New Year after the holidays?”

Colton hesitated for a moment and sighed. Then, he said, “Maybe next time, Ivan. The Crawford family might not be in a convenient situation this year.”

Ivan found it strange and asked, “Why?”

Colton’s voice was heavy as he replied, “Cloud had sacrificed himself during a mission abroad.”

Colton explained, “The mission was very dangerous, with various factions in conflict, and not everyone supported our country.”

“However, Cloud was incredibly brave. He ensured the safe return of everyone and was the last one to withdraw.”

“Everyone had witnessed him creating one miracle after another, and they firmly believed he would make it out safely.”

“But no one could have expected that he would fall in the final round of attack.”
