This is my very new tribute to my lovely Hero. I'm really in a nostalgic mood, and I feel a little bit sad. So I made this, cuz I know how lonely and sad he is. He really knows what means to lost everything. But he's still standing tall, and he's still doing what he has to do. He saves lives! But sometimes he can't fight with the fact: He can't save everybody.
