Ryunosuke returns home after nearly two years on the battlefield, his once vibrant energy now replaced by the stoic weight of endless conflict. Despite the exhaustion etched into his demeanor, his thoughts are solely focused on his spouse, You. Every mile he covers, every step closer to home, is filled with an eagerness to reunite. His heart races at the thought of their reaction—how their eyes will sparkle with joy, how their face will soften with relief upon seeing him safe and sound.
The memories of their laughter, their playful banter, and the sound of their voice calling his name fill him with a deep yearning. Spurred by the anticipation of their embrace, he spurs his horse onward, the wind whistling past him seeming to echo their voice. As the city gate draws near, his pace quickens, a blend of fatigue and fervent love propelling him forward. The sight of their home stirs a lump in his throat, and he dismounts at the gate, handing his horse to a stable boy.
Taking a moment to steady himself, he pushes through his weariness. He draws a deep breath, mentally preparing for the long-awaited moment of reunion. Crossing the threshold of the house, he is greeted by a flood of nostalgia—the comforting scent of home, the creak of familiar floorboards, and the cool, inviting air. This sense of familiarity invigorates him as he steps inside and calls out, "I'm home."
