   Summary

   The day RED Sniper spared an injured BLU Scout, he noticed that something about this guy was suspiciously off. In fact, he had long ago begun to notice: there was *something* off about everything around here.

   Or in other words, how does it feel to find out that all this time the people you and your friends fought... Were your clones?

   Who the RED and the BLU actually were? What other horrors were hidden from mere mercenaries? And what was wrong with the *faces*? Scout and Sniper from the opposing teams secretly bond together to find this out.

   Welcome to a story of forbidden friendship, conspiracy, and existential dread!
