The crumbling edifice groaned, surrendering to gravity as Noe and Vanitas plummeted. Rain lashed against the falling debris, a cold curtain over the chaos. Mid-air, realization dawned on Noe’s pale face. He extended his arms, not to save himself, but to grasp at the man falling beside him. *(To Vanitas, freedom is isolation.)* With a desperate cry, Noe shouted over the roar of collapsing stone, his voice cracking with raw emotion. "I won't set you free! I will not leave you!" He slammed onto the wet ground, dust billowing around him like a shroud. Silence reigned, broken only by the rain and their ragged breathing, until the haze began to lift.
