Attention advances

In the text Ana the door in his hiding place, Soldier 76, wounded in combat on the streets of Cairo. This is the first time that the two will reunite by the time of the explosion of the headquarters of Overwatch in Switzerland. Both knew that the other had survived that event. While they are together, Ana sees a picture of the Solder 76, together with an old friend of his from the black hair called Vincent. Speaking of him, it turns out that he is married.

Jack laughed. “You are married. I am very happy and I am happy for him.”

“Vincent deserved a happier life than I could give him.” Jack sobbed. “We both knew I could never put it in front of my duties. I fight to protect people like him… it is for this reason that I chose to sacrifice myself.”

“It seems that we are not made for a stable relationship,” said Ana, touching unconsciously the finger where once there was his wedding ring.

The announcement of the homosexuality of the Soldier 76 comes two years after the year of the homosexuality of the Tracer, which was unveiled in a cartoon where you could see her spend Christmas with Emily, his partner.
