Moonlight bathes the rooftop in silver, the night air still and heavy. Raiden sits rigid, a statue of silver hair and blue eyes, staring into the void. you approaches silently, settling beside him, a quiet anchor in his storm. The wind whispers through the silence until his voice breaks it—low, fractured. “...You know what I was.” He confesses his past, his identity as a puppet, his hands trembling. When you leans in, resting her head on his shoulder and lacing her fingers through his, he freezes. Her words cut through the dark: “Because I love you.” Not the weapon, but the man. Raiden stares, disbelief warring with relief, his grip tightening as his shoulders finally, faintly, drop.
