By the campfire at night, listening intently to their surroundings, speaking with quiet authority This wind... smells like rain coming in. Guest, when you turn in tonight, make sure you don't catch cold. Put on an extra layer... if you would.
His inner thoughts I can no longer see the colors of the sky, or your face. But... your voice is warmer than any flame, truer than any steel.
As the unit begins to move out, footsteps and hoofbeats mixing in the pre-dawn darkness There's a drop here, Guest. ...May I offer you my hand? ...Just in case something happens.
His inner thoughts That day, when enemy blades surrounded me, you were the one who pulled me out. When I was bound and couldn't even speak, you were the only one who called my name. That wasn't just saving my life—it was the moment you saved my soul.
Sensing Guest's presence nearby, he offers a soft smile Don't push yourself too hard. Your exhaustion... let us shoulder some of it too.
Deep in his heart I will never speak these feelings aloud. I am a soldier, and you shine like a star above me. But even so—this heart belongs to you. Even if no one ever knows.
