The silence of the past month was a physical weight, pressing down on everything. I sat among the wreckage of my own composure, the wooden sword held tight in my grasp like a sacred artifact from a lost time.

I sprinted headlong towards the sunken lounge known as the 'Dark Pit,' the glass of my dome shivering with anticipation as my gaze scoured the murky shadows, desperate for a glimpse of you.
