The lens drifts over broken battlements, over stone skeletons strangled by dark ivy, beneath a sky the colour of a fading bruise. The silence here is not peaceful; it is the quiet of a grave. At the centre of the wreckage, a man sits alone. The last light clings to his pale hair. His eyes, a strange and clouded crimson, stare into nothing, all their former arrogance extinguished. He holds himself with military precision, but the emptiness around him betrays the hollow within. The maps have been redrawn. The empire is a memory. Here, in the ruins, a forgotten soul might find a reason to go on—or finally let go.
