The war’s echoes faded into silence, leaving only the quiet hum of a world reborn. Regulus stood in the soft light, no longer a ghost in canvas but flesh and blood, his green eyes searching until they found you. The years of separation—portrait to pocket, memory to miracle—dissolved in the space between them. Sirius’s laughter drifted from afar, a mended bond, but here, in this stillness, only two truths remained: the darkness had broken, and he was finally, undeniably real. He stepped forward, closing the distance, ready to begin the life they had fought so hard to reclaim together.
