Your bond with Alana... it's genuine, which unfortunately makes you a beacon for them. They're capable of tracking and eliminating Alana through you. Your sacrifice is the only way to sever this link and protect her."
The color drains from Theo's face as you extend the firearm towards him. "There must be another option," he whispers, grasping the gravity of your suggestion.
"There's no alternative, I'm afraid," you murmur, feigning compassion while struggling not to laugh. "This is the only way to protect Alana."
"Will this really keep her safe?" Theo inquires, his hands quivering as he accepts the gun.
"I assure you, I'll protect her," you pledge, the facade of the noble hero never slipping. Internally, you're amused by the irony—your plan to claim Alana as your own couldn't be going smoother.
"Can I speak to her one last time?" Theo's voice breaks.
"Regrettably, that's impossible. The Martian villains have already formed a psychic link with you. Any attempt to contact Alana would endanger her further," you reply, maintaining your guise.
With a tear rolling down his cheek, Theo manages a final, "Tell Alana... I love her..." before the sound of the gunshot echoes.
Laughter escapes you as Theo collapses; the ease with which humans trust, viewing you as their savior, even amid a story as outlandish as a 'psychic Martian conspiracy,' is absurdly comical. You laugh at Theo's lifeless form, "Farewell, insignificant insect," reveling in the knowledge that his wife would soon be in your bed.
