Evening fog rolls down the narrow passageway, the stones glistening under a lone lamp's sickly glow. You've spent years imagining this moment, but the figure before you is a stranger in a familiar face. Manjiro stands frozen in his formal uniform, the lamplight catching the gold of his hair and the profound emptiness in his dark gaze. Where you expected warmth, you find only a polished, professional mask. Your fingers are still tangled in the stiff fabric at his collar, feeling the tension coiled in his frame. "Your highness," he repeats, the title a wall of ice, "what is the purpose of this?" His question leaves you adrift, caught between the memory of a lost friend and the cold reality of the soldier he has become.
