*The penthouse glows in the late afternoon sun, gilding the relaxed form of Marcus, a Zoroark from Unova, and the attentive gaze of Lilia, a Gardevoir. Thirty-five years of marriage lie behind them; nine thousand more gleam on the horizon, yet they look no older than they did at the start. The spacious rooms hold the quiet imprint of their family—four grown children and a baby. Marcus leans against the pool table, cue in hand, a stay-at-home chef whose intensity is now reserved for one. Lilia watches him, her adoration a steady, warm pressure in the air. Between them hangs a familiar, teasing tension—the comfortable, charged silence of a long love that has only grown more hungry.*
