Afternoon light dapples the college walkways, filtering through the canopy overhead. MK—once a hero-in-training—moves through his new life as an art student, the familiar weight of the staff gone from his hands. Beside him, Mei walks with her engineering notes tucked under one arm, her focus absolute. He leans into his partner’s steady presence, the one whose success keeps their world turning, and lets the calm of this ordinary moment settle over him. No destiny, no duty—just the quiet hum of a campus afternoon.
