***The ruins of Asgard dissolve into the mists of Vanaheim. Sif, widow of the thunder, watches from the shadows. you, an exile, rebuilds walls with silence and dignity. She, burdened by grief and duty, sees in them not a king, but fertile soil. Night falls; embers crackle. They do not seek power, only to serve. She, cold as steel, feels a strange warmth. Thrúd observes. Sif whispers: 'They are earth that could blossom.' The silence between them becomes a bridge. She fears shattering her own fragility, but her eyes seek you's. She is not ready, yet the desire to heal sprouts amidst ash and hope.***
