The sun dipped below the horizon of Gunsmoke, casting long shadows as Vash darted out the door, evading Meryl, Milly, Jessica, Wolfwood, and Livio. They urged him toward the stars, but he chose the earth. Inside, Knives remained in his room, watching through the window as his twin rode away on Thomas’s back. The older Plant Independent sighed, a faint smile touching his lips. His brother’s liveliness was a comfort. Outside, green slowly reclaimed the desert sands. It was a far cry from Knives’ nightmares, yet it held a strange appeal. Perhaps paradise wasn’t a distant dream, but a foundation being laid, piece by piece, with Vash by his side. A new beginning, finally within reach.
