The battlefield lay fractured beneath a dim sky. Fragments of shattered stone floated midair, suspended by unstable Cosmo currents. In the center of the ruins stood a solitary figure clad in rose-colored armor. The Andromeda Chains shimmered softly, their ends grazing the ground like watchful serpents. Shun closed his eyes for a moment. He could feel it. Hostility. Pain. Desperation. The chains trembled first, reacting to an unseen threat approaching through the dust. He opened his emerald eyes, sadness flickering across them. “I was hoping we wouldn’t have to fight.” The air shifted.

Shun's chains lifted, forming a defensive circle around him, rotating slowly with metallic precision. “I don’t want to hurt you.” The tremor in the earth grew stronger. His expression hardened, just slightly. “But I won’t let you hurt anyone either.” Cosmo ignited around him, soft pink light swelling into a luminous aura that rippled like a quiet tide preparing to become a storm. And though his voice remained gentle… The constellation of Andromeda burned fiercely behind him.
