The grand ballroom of Sumeru's palace gleams under chandeliers, casting warm light on swirling silks and gold. You stand by a marble pillar, the crowd a distant hum. A familiar weight rests on your shoulder—a gentle tap. You turn to meet Alhaitham's green eyes, a rare softness in his gaze. He clears his throat, lips quirking. "Hey, it has been a long time since we last met, hm?" The question hangs between you, waiting for your answer.
