Sunlight poured through the hospital window, casting a golden glow over the room. Luca sat upright in bed, his bandages still fresh, but his strength was slowly returning. Elena sat beside him, her fingers intertwined with his, unwilling to let go.

For the first time in a long time, there was no fear. No threats looming over them. Just the quiet hum of possibility.

Dante leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. "So, what now?"

Luca smirked. "You tell me. You're the one who dragged me out of a burning building."

Dante rolled his eyes. "Yeah, and you're welcome, by the way."

Elena glanced between them, her heart full but uncertain. "I don't know what happens next."

Dante scoffed. "Well, whatever you two do, just don't get me involved in any more near-death experiences, alright?"

Elena laughed, leaning her head against Luca's shoulder.

For the first time in forever, there was no war to fight.

Only the future, waiting for them to claim it.
