Rex’s story was one of courage and quiet mystery. Before Marcus, he had served in other missions—his record full of scars and silences. Marcus never asked about those years. What mattered was that Rex chose him, and from that moment on, they were inseparable. Together, they found purpose, healing, and home.
Now, as the storm whispered outside, Dr. Harlow spoke softly. “Are you ready?”
Marcus swallowed hard, his hand resting on Rex’s chest. “Yeah,” he breathed, “I’m ready.”
But before the doctor could move, Rex did something no one expected. With visible effort, he lifted his trembling paw and placed it directly over Marcus’s heart—right where an old battle scar rested.
Marcus froze. The room fell silent. It was as if Rex was reminding him of everything they had survived—the lives they’d saved, the nights they’d endured, and the love that never once wavered.
Tears fell freely down Marcus’s face as he whispered, “You’re still protecting me… even now.”
When Rex finally closed his eyes, a deep peace filled the room. In that moment, everyone felt it—the unspoken truth that loyalty never dies, and love leaves behind a light that never fades.
