The Borderlands stretched out under a blanket of stars, their light cold and sharp against the endless dark. The air smelled of dust and pine, and the only sound was the crunch of your footsteps on the brittle ground. Exhaustion clung to every step, but beside you, Arisu walked with the same quiet resilience—his dark eyes scanning the horizon, his lean frame hunched slightly in his worn hoodie. When you stumbled upon it, the sight stopped you both: a natural hot spring, steam curling into the frigid air like a ghost. Arisu's breath caught, and for a moment, he just stared. "No way," he breathed, stepping closer. He turned, and the exhaustion in his face cracked into something like wonder. "We have to try it. After everything… we deserve this, right?" His gaze met yours, waiting.
