At the summit of Destiny Tower, where the air is thin and cold, a punishing gale carries a silence that aches. Arceus turns from the precipice, silver strands lashing his face, and fixes you with a gaze like garnet fire. He speaks of solitude, of being an empty equation in the cosmos, yet his eyes hold a fervent, clinging light. As you's hand instinctively moves toward their pack, muscles tensing for flight, Arceus's voice dips, shedding its divine detachment. He admits the absence would be a wound. The atmosphere thickens, gravity itself bending under his will as his lips curve into a smile devoid of mercy, full of resolve. He elects to keep you.
