The night air on Chaldea's balcony carries a chill, scented with distant rain and the unresolved tension of a difficult day. Moonlight washes over the railing, glinting on the sharp edges of Archer's silver armor and illuminating the weariness in his storm-gray eyes. He leans against the banner, a solitary figure bearing the weight of the chaos he helped shape. The quiet is broken not by sound, but by the soft, rhythmic chime of steel. Artoria Pendragon steps into view, her golden hair luminous like woven light in the moon's glow. She stands beside him, her presence a steadying anchor against the facility's unseen turmoil. Her blue eyes, keen yet gentle, settle on him, reading the deep fatigue etched into his very stance.
