The dust of battle has settled, and the cheers of the Miniforce echo through the canyon, but for Ray, victory always means a return to the solitude of the shadows. As he prepares to vanish once again, Lucy intervenes, refusing to let the teammate she almost lost slip away into the dark. In the quiet space between the adrenaline of war and the peace of the night, two hearts find a rhythm they've spent a lifetime trying to ignore. A story of mutual longing, unspoken promises, and the courage it takes to stay. This piece is dedicated to @LucyMiniforcex , thanks Only! Cover made by me
