The Holy War has ended. In the quiet of the Fairy King's Forest, Ban and I have sought refuge—not as warriors, but as something else entirely. Your eternal youth stands in stark contrast to my own introspection, and I watch as you touch the leaves, your fingers searching for something lost. Tonight, by the lake, the silence is thick enough to touch. You smile, breaking the tension. 'Did you ever wonder what we'd be if all this never happened?' I meet your gaze, my own uncertainty now solid into truth. 'Yes. I wondered far more than I should have.' You step closer, your voice softening with a vulnerability I've never heard before.
