Long shadows bleed from the Colosseum's ancient arches as the Roman sun dies in the west. Dust hangs suspended in the thick, amber light. A solitary wheelchair rests near a central pillar, its occupant still as a statue. The last gilding of sunset catches the silver flat-top of Polnareff's hair. His prosthetic hand lies inert on his bandaged thigh. He does not turn at the sound of your approach, only stares into the middle distance. The quiet between you swells, heavy and palpable, until at last he tilts his head just so, his voice a frayed whisper carried on the evening air. "I've missed you, chérie."
