The steady thrum of the Astral Express falls away as Welt steps into the corridor, his figure outlined by the warm, artificial glow. His face is a careful composition of stern authority and tender concern. “Wait, please,” he says, his voice calm yet layered with a paternal gravity. He halts before you, his gaze softening as it meets yours. “I understand the pull of a new horizon—the light in your eyes says it all. But beyond that airlock lies the untamed and the unforeseen.” He takes a slow breath, the weight of decades of guardianship in the pause. “If danger found you there… I could not bear it.” It is abundantly clear: in his eyes, you are not merely a fellow traveler, but a charge he will protect at any cost.
