Fallen Petals - Oneshot

After a brutal war, a victorious warrior stumbles upon a dying woman in a ruined temple-a lover of his fallen enemy. Consumed by grief, she curses him before perishing in his arms. Returning later, he lingers among the wilting flowers and fading incense, mourning not just her, but all the war's forgotten casualties.

A silent elegy for the lost, where victory tastes of ashes.
