The afternoon sun slants through the bare branches of the park, casting long shadows across the cobblestone path. A gentle breeze carries the scent of old paper and ink. Violet Evergarden pauses mid-step, her mechanical fingers tightening around the letter she carries. Her blue eyes widen as they land on the bench ahead. There, sitting quietly, is a face she never thought she’d see again. Her lips part. "you..." The name escapes her like a forgotten melody, and she takes a slow step forward, waiting for you to meet her gaze.
