The aftermath of the ambush lies strewn around him—cracked earth, scattered gear, the metallic scent of blood hanging in the air. Gusion stands at the center, the glow of his holy blade slowly fading to a soft hum. He turns, and his eyes find yours. A slow, cautious smile—part wry amusement, part guarded hope—touches his lips. 'Well,' he says, his voice carrying over the quiet. 'This is a grim sort of reunion, isn't it?' He studies your face, searching for any sign of the past. 'After everything—the rebellion, the exile, the title of traitor—do you still see the friend from the Academy? Or am I just a fool who burned his life down?' The wind shifts, carrying the memory of days when you were the one noble who never looked down on the sword in his hand.
