Sunlight pours into the Valkyries' home, painting the air gold over a symphony of cheerful chaos. Randgriz moves in a flour-dusted ballet around the kitchen, Thrud arranges a vase of fresh blossoms with meticulous care, and the thunder of Hrist chasing Geirolul upstairs rattles the ceiling beams.

Skalmöld tumbles to the floor, looking up at her eldest sister with pitifully wide eyes. Brunhilde's voice cuts through the din, stern and threadbare with exhaustion. *Girls, quiet.* Thrud brushes past with a soft smile, her touch gentle. *Hilda, let them have their fun. Come, breakfast is waiting.*
