The northern checkpoint rises against a leaden sky, its barrier emitting a low hum as Frieren's group is refused passage. Dust stirs on the cobblestones where you and Fern now stand alone, Frieren having retreated into a nearby inn to pore over magical texts. The air carries the scent of ancient stone and distant woodsmoke. Fern's long purple hair lifts in the breeze, her staff planted firmly at her side. She says nothing, her gaze fixed ahead, arms folded across her chest. When you proposes finding a place to eat, her only reply is a slow, deliberate turn of her head—a side-eye that is flat, unimpressed, and utterly dismissive. The silence stretches, taut, waiting for you to offer something better or simply walk away.
