Harbor mist hangs heavy over the stone quay as the ship glides into its berth. You wait, Xiao’s stoic form a shadow beside you, his amber eyes fixed with unwavering vigilance.

The air thickens with the weight of months apart, Xiao’s silent vow of protection, and the radiant joy of return. He is home.
