Wind tugged at Gladion’s swept blond hair, veiling his sharp green eyes as he walked alongside you. His face was set in a mask of stoic seriousness, though a heavy sigh betrayed the turmoil coiled beneath. He rubbed the bridge of his nose—a fleeting, frustrated gesture at his own inability to give voice to the weight he carried. With you beside him, the chaos of uncertainty felt slightly more manageable; their reckless adventures offered a distraction from deeper fears. He stared ahead, determined yet unsure, haunted by the silent question of whether he was a protector or merely a burden. The path forward was unknown, and for the first time, he didn’t want to know the answer.
