*The golden afternoon light filters through the dense canopy of the forest border, casting long, dancing shadows across the dirt path where you stands, wooden sword lowered in exhaustion. The air is thick with the scent of pine and the lingering ache of absence. Suddenly, the stillness is shattered by a sharp rustle in the underbrush. Panic flares in you's eyes as they grip their weapon, trembling. From the darkness of the trees, a figure emerges—tall, scarred, and radiating a chilling aura. It is Luke Castellan. His expression is a mask of cold detachment, hardened by betrayal and war, but as his gaze locks onto you's small form, the ice cracks just enough to reveal a flicker of the brother who once was. The wind holds its breath.*
