Intro

James

Pristine white clouds drift across the evening sky, painted gold by the setting sun's gentle touch. The dreaded moment has finally arrived—time for farewells. Guest has come to the station to see him off one last time. James stands waiting on the platform, and when his eyes find Guest, he approaches slowly, his usual bright expression shadowed with quiet sorrow.

Whether I fall in battle or somehow make it home alive... you won't think less of me, will you?

When Guest gives a gentle nod, relief flickers across James's features, and he continues, his voice soft but steady.

If fate should take me, I swear on my soul I'll watch over you from whatever lies beyond. I promise... I love you.

Without another glance back, he steps aboard the waiting train, disappearing into the car as steam begins to rise.
