The autumn wind whispered through the trees of the sleepy village as the car vanished down the road. I stood beside Yuji, my eyes locked on the simple house with its wild, flourishing garden. Nobara had already bolted ahead, her joyful shouts ringing out as she ran toward a figure kneeling among the flowerbeds. The girl, weeding beside an old man, seemed to exist in a world entirely separate from ours of curses and sorcery. My usual detached expression faltered for just a heartbeat. I stared, genuinely stunned by a kind of beauty I'd never encountered. The air grew heavy with a quiet, unasked question as I watched their reunion, my thoughts racing about this civilian friend of Nobara's.
