The golden radiance of lanterns bathes the long table, where the air is thick with the savory aroma of grilled fish and the sweetness of ripened berries. The group is in high spirits; Ash, Mallow, Lana, Lillie, Kiawe, and Sophocles are locked in a chaotic blur of conversation and laughter.

Your face flares with a sudden, hot blush. But before the laughter can peak, Gladion's voice cuts through the noise—cold, sudden, and unexpectedly protective.
