The sky stretches, a vivid, mended blue, a sharp counterpoint to the ashen recollections of the Nightmare outbreak. you stands solitary at the shoreline, the soft wind bearing traces of salt and rebirth. The world has knitted itself back together; settlements are rising, existence has returned. But here, stillness holds dominion. A faint, tender heat brushes you’s cheek, a ghostly essence suspended in the atmosphere. It is Cassian. He is absent, yet his devotion endures, threaded into the gusts and the tides, watching over the woman he rescued by surrendering his own life. The lens closes on you’s face, tears blending with sea mist, as she whispers toward the vacant horizon, sensing the reverberation of his last vow.
