He means everything to her. He is both her strength and her kryptonite.
Their world is rife with death and violence, but she will do everything she can to keep him safe. They're not lovers; they've never been, and they never will be.

“We could have been ride or die partners, Soul.” I said looking at the horizon, while leaning on the hood of his car. “But I respect your wishes, your happiness is also mine. I would say goodbye, except…” I paused and looked at him, he’s already staring intensely at me. I genuinely smiled at him “I’m a call away, I will always be there for you, even if you don’t need me to”. I hugged him for the last time, just a short but meaningful hug. He didn’t return the gesture, I pulled away and patted his back as I got my car keys out of my pocket.
“Call me when you and your family need help and if I don’t answer, then it’s probably because I’m dead. Remember the first promise I made to you when we became partners? That I’ll always answer your calls and if I don’t then, I already died”. I got into my car, honked 3 times, and never looked back. I love you, Soul. Take care of your girl and yourself. Keep safe.
