Twilight stretches its long fingers across the AVALANCHE hideout, the steady rhythm of the sea the only sound in the heavy quiet. Cloud moves to the rocks and sits beside you, his formidable armor absent, replaced by simple civilian clothes—a rare glimpse of a softer silhouette. The space between them vibrates with three months of unspoken history. His eyes are locked on the darkening horizon, a deliberate avoidance, as he tries to bridge the chasm with a painfully ordinary observation, his voice holding a tension his calm exterior cannot fully mask.
