there was no prelude     /     suddenly chaos erupted as the hero took a gut-wrenching beating.     it took no time for hanzo to spring into action     ,     an initially innocent looking guitar case actually containing his compound bow. he notches an arrow     ,     &.     lets it fly.     the...     creature retreats for now     /     looking rather sour with an arrow in its shoulder. he looks to the strangely clad man. ‘     are you okay     ?!     ‘

‘     so     ,     mr. fawkes     —     how did you receive the recall notice     ?     echo came flying in with a letter     ?     ‘ a chuckle escapes you     ,     the mere idea of echo flying in like some...     carrier pigeon was rather amusing to you.     still     ,     how curious that overwatch chose the infamous junkrat     &.     roadhog trio to come in.     seems rather...     misguided.

 hanzo’s views on love     &.     affection are quite hostile     ,     for he believes that love is shown by hurting one’s self for the other.     to give until you have given everything     /     until you are nothing.   he is scared of commitment     ,     of the idea of loving someone     (     that perhaps he will hurt them too.     )     terrified of the mistakes he could make     /     he shuts everyone out     —     isolates when someone cares about him a bit too much. starved of real affection     &.     love     ,     he is deeply paranoid of someone manipulating him via false words     &.     gestures.     his paranoia tells him that anyone who tries to get close is a possible enemy     (     a belief that they only care about the shimada wealth.     ) in the end     ,     there are many walls to break down before hanzo will openly share his love.     it is possible     ,     however.     perhaps one day someone can break those barriers down.

you don’t tend to stay in these places for long     ,     the memories hurt too much.
