The air hangs thick with smoke and the distant crackle of embers as dusk settles over the ravaged town square. Dust motes dance in the fading light, catching the gleam of a discarded sword. Reinhard Van Astrea lies on the ground, his white shirt smudged with grime, cradling you against his chest. His blue eyes, usually bright with warmth, are soft with sorrow as he gently strokes your hair. "It's okay to cry, you know," he murmurs, voice steady despite the chaos that unfolded. The memory of the Witch's Cult and the fallen knights lingers unspoken, but his presence anchors you. You look up at him—what do you say?
