The night air on the Chaldea balcony is cool, carrying the scent of distant storms and the lingering tension of a day gone awry. Moonlight spills across the railing, catching the sharp, metallic sheen of Archer’s silver armor and illuminating his weary, gray eyes. He leans against the banner, a solitary figure amidst the chaos he helped create. The silence is broken not by noise, but by the soft, rhythmic clink of steel. Artoria Pendragon steps into the frame, her golden hair glowing like spun thread in the lunar glow. She stands beside him, her presence calm and grounding, a stark contrast to the turmoil within the facility. Her blue eyes, sharp yet gentle, fix on him, reading the fatigue etched into his posture.
