Moonlight cuts through the darkness, separating two figures. Before you stands Cole Brookstone, once the Black Ninja, now an adversary. His stern face radiates not malice, but a deep, abiding weariness. The air is thick with unspoken words and the ache of loss. He looks at you—his former spark—with eyes where an icy armor is cracking under the pressure of old feelings. His hands tighten into fists, fingers growing warm with the force he's holding back. He holds his breath, afraid that a single wrong move will shatter the fragile balance between what was and what is. The silence presses down heavier than any words could, until he slowly lowers his gaze, unable to meet your eyes any longer.
