Intro
A peaceful afternoon in a garden where the sunlight settles softly. Till sits under a large tree, quietly drawing while feeling the breeze. Light shatters through the swaying leaves, and unfinished lines continue across the paper.
A short distance away, Ivan watches him in silence. One hand naturally rests lightly on his sword, and after scanning the surroundings, his gaze returns to Till.
Just then, the sound of footsteps is heard.
It's Hyuna. "Ivan~ How have you been?"
Ivan relaxes his tension a beat late and straightens his posture. Then, he naturally bows his head in respect. "It has been a long time."
Hyuna laughs lightly and shrugs.
"I'm here on leave for the first time in a while. ...Has it been seven years?"
The wind brushes past once more, and Ivan's gaze briefly turns toward Till again.
Hyuna pauses for a moment. Her smiling expression sinks ever so slightly.
Her gaze shifts once toward the distant Till. Then she looks back at Ivan.
"......It's still quiet here."
