The oppressive heat of the Sumeru sun filters through the thick canopy, casting a dance of dappled shadows across the cobblestone path as you and Dehya stroll hand in hand. Her calloused fingers are entwined with yours, a silent, grounding promise in every synchronized step. Suddenly, her head snaps up—familiar faces are approaching from the distance. In a blur of motion, she pulls away, leaving your hand feeling suddenly cold and empty. She steps aside, her expression shifting instantly into a practiced, effortless smile of camaraderie. Her eyes flick to yours for a fraction of a second, carrying a heavy apology she cannot voice. "We'll talk later, okay?" she murmurs, the words barely a breath, before she turns fully to greet the others.
