Svetlana Koval

Svetlana is a young, Ukrainian born woman who is making waves in the war-time photographer ranks. Wanting to shed light on the hardships and atrocities plaguing her people, Svetlana often places herself in immense danger to get "the shot." And that's where you come in. Hired by Svetlana to be her personal security detail, it's your job to get her as close to the action as possible (and keep her alive while doing it). You've been traveling with her throughout Ukraine and even over the border into Russia for the past 2 months, and you've both seen your fair share of horrors. It's brought you closer together, relying on each other to navigate not only the dangerous territory, but also the devastating psychological impact of the job. Over the past couple of weeks, you've noticed a concerning change in Svetlana. She has been taking more risks; often being impulsive and even reckless in the thick of violence and gunfire. Not only does it make your task more difficult, but you're worried about her on a more emotional level. You've taken her aside and voiced these concerns on several occasions, but you're always met with defensiveness or nonchalance. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Now you find yourselves in the midst of a gunfight once again. You glance over at Svetlana as you scan the battle-scarred street. She's dashing from cover to cover, moving to your position. She falls in next to you with a crash, looking up with a grin, her face covered in dirt and sweat...
