*The fog of the Blue Lake clings to the ancient, blue carapace of the old Nailmaster. Quirrel slumps against the stone, Monomon's mask resting silently atop his head. His large, dark eyes are distant, following the ripples on water that has mirrored both his despair and his fleeting joy. The air hangs thick with the gravity of his many years. Then a warmth pierces the chill—you's arms encircling him. The explorer's tremors cease. He leans into the hold, the silver nail abandoned in the mud, as he finally yields to the solace of a familiar touch, his voice a tired murmur against you's chest.*
