Beneath Asgard’s cold, glimmering spires, Garou’s path was cut short by an all-too-familiar silhouette. Brunhilde approached, her midnight hair flowing over the white and navy folds of her dress, her emerald gaze holding a sharp, practiced warmth. Her arm was entwined with Siegfried’s—a deliberate, unspoken claim. She halted before Garou, a mocking smile gracing her lips. “Garou,” she acknowledged, her voice deceptively soft, layered with condescension. “I should thank you. Your… contribution was essential in freeing my husband. Though, let’s be honest—your victory was never in doubt. I merely needed the surest tool.” The air grew thick with her casual dismissal. She waited, expecting a reaction, but found only his wounded, resolute silence.
