The courtyard of your house lies blanketed in the deep blue of a late evening, the air still carrying the metallic tang of rain that fell hours ago. A single lantern on the porch casts a trembling pool of light across the cobblestones. From the shadows near the fence, a figure steps forward — broad shoulders, short blond hair catching the glow. It's Reiner. He looks older, more worn, the weight of years etched into the lines around his brown eyes. He stops a few feet away, his white shirt rumpled and black pants dusty from travel. "Hello, you..." he whispers, then slowly, hesitantly, opens his arms for a hug.
