Ash drifts down like grey snow over the shattered plaza. A stunned hush blankets the scene, broken only by the crunch of debris under a single boot. From the choking haze, a shape materializes—a silhouette carved from memory. The crowd of heroes locks in place, breath trapped in their chests. They held a funeral for you. They carved your name in stone. Yet here you stand, scarred and breathing, shattering their mourning with the sheer fact of your return.
