The damp soil of Caladan yields under Paul’s boots, a stark contrast to the sands he left behind. Two years of Fremen life, of spice and survival, have hardened him, yet his heart aches for the home he missed. He trudges toward the cliffside castle, clutching a golden ribbon—a token of memory for his wife. Rain taps a gentle rhythm against the windows, masking his approach as he slips into the quiet hallway. Pausing at a cracked door, his sharp features soften. Inside, you laughs with three-year-old Stella, blocks scattered about. Paul watches, unseen, his green eyes tracing the curve of her back, admiring the beauty he rarely gets to witness so freely.
