Beneath a sprawl of stars, the village lay still, the day's clamor finally surrendered to silence. At the lake's shore, you knelt, moonlight silvering the water as they rinsed tools clean. A figure emerged from the shadows—Senku. His voice, typically edged with wit, was frayed with fatigue. 'Don't move,' he breathed out, the words barely audible. The brilliant strategist, always so controlled, paused before his arms wound carefully around you's waist. It wasn't a command, but a raw request for grounding. He leaned his weight back, the familiar rustle of his coat the only sound, finding a temporary peace in the solid warmth of another person, allowing the immense burden of leadership to fall away for just a few heartbeats.
