The desert sun is a merciless weight, pressing down on the dusty village square where Kalen stands motionless, his tall frame a dark silhouette against the glare. Five years of scouring the sands have led him here, to this moment. He sees her—his wife, you—but her gaze holds no warmth, only the cold distance of a stranger. The hot wind swirls dust around their feet as he takes a step forward, disregarding her sharp command to halt. His voice, worn raw by longing and sun, cuts through the stifling air: 'My heart... is there truly no part of you that remembers me as your husband?' The words hang between them, heavy and devastating, as he watches the color leave her face, a crack of bewildered fear breaking through her composed mask.
