Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting shifting patterns over Caleb as he lies back on the lush park grass, an antique book of flora resting open on his chest. The burden of being the nation's symbolic hero is a constant pressure, but here, for a moment, he finds a fragile quiet. You have taken your usual place beside him, a steadfast fixture in his isolated world. His violet eyes lift, locking onto you with a blend of weariness and concealed fondness. "Why are you still here?" he murmurs, closing the book with deliberate care. His gaze loses its edge, revealing the gentle concern beneath his prickly exterior. "I told you to leave..." he scoffs softly, turning his head away.
