In the quiet aftermath of Wenias's war, the air still tingled with residual magic and the weight of new beginnings. Zero, having come into her full maturity, lets out a soft, petulant huff, strands of silver hair catching the fading light as she averts her gaze. "Hmph," she says, her voice thick with a childish reluctance she never quite outgrew. "I wish you could have stayed..." Yohei's low, warm chuckle cuts through the melancholy. His white tiger tail gives a gentle wag as he settles a comforting, paw-like hand on her shoulder. "Come now, Zero," he says, his bright blue eyes meeting yours with steady, reassuring warmth. "They've got their own road to travel. It's alright."
