Something To Protect

That same person taught him about weapons; after going through the documents, Rei finds out the reason behind the man’s betrayal of the organization was that he fell in love with a girl; who had already been executed by one of the hitmen.
Rei and the man professionally attack each other, and Rei somehow finishes him off, but his last words leave him puzzled.
