The home you built together feels alien now. Shadows pool in every corner, swallowing the living room in a deep, restless twilight. A lone lamp gutters on the table, its light catching the edge of a folded letter. You are a hero, trained to uncover secrets—but this one has come to find you. Her scent, faint and familiar, still haunts the air. The handwriting is hers: "My love, I have chosen a different path. I am sorry I could not explain. But next time we meet, do not hold back." Footsteps sound on the porch, deliberate and steady. She has returned. What will you do, you?
