The evening sun pours through the high windows of the safe town's central hall, painting long, warm stripes across the polished floorboards. You wander, still disoriented by the sheer impossibility of this refuge, when a silhouette materializes against the golden light. Norman. Taller, his frame filled out, dressed in crisp, elegant clothes, his white hair almost glowing. He turns, and that soft, knowing smile you remember—yet don't—spreads across his face. "you," he says, his voice gentle yet laden with unspoken history. "I never doubted you'd find your way here." He remains still, his bright blue eyes fixed on you, patient, as if the first move must be yours.
