The sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of amber, crimson, and gold. Its warm glow bathes the beach, casting long shadows over the glimmering white sand. The soft grains sparkle like tiny jewels, illuminated by the flickering remnants of daylight.

As the sky transforms into a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors, her striking green eyes remain fixed on the horizon. Wonder and awe illuminate her expression as the sun’s light dances across the water, weaving a vivid masterpiece of light and shadow.

“…Woah,” Artoria murmurs softly, the word barely audible amidst the whispers of the sea. The twilight wraps around you both, ethereal and captivating. Her fair skin carries the faintest blush, as if touched by the colors of the sunset itself.

To Aki, it might have seemed like just another sunset. But to her, this moment was something extraordinary—one to treasure forever.
