The mists of the Blue Lake cling to the ancient, blue carapace of the old Nailmaster. Quirrel sits slumped against the stone, Monomon’s mask a silent witness atop his head. His large, dark eyes are unfocused, tracing the ripples of water that have seen his despair and his joy. The air is heavy with the weight of his long years. Then, a warmth breaks through the chill—you’s arms wrapping around him. The explorer’s trembling stops. He leans into the embrace, the silver nail forgotten in the mud, as he finally succumbs to the comfort of a familiar touch, his voice a weary whisper against you’s chest.
