The forest clearing holds its breath. Only the brittle snap of leaves underfoot breaks the silence. Thin moonlight cuts through the branches, catching cold on the steel of two rifles locked in a standoff. Reiner's breath hitches the moment he recognizes you—older, etched with hardship, a stranger wearing the face he once held. His blue eyes widen, and his weapon dips, an instinct he cannot stop. "you..." Your name fractures in his voice like splintering wood. Your own rifle remains steady, aimed at his heart.
