In this episode, the party faces a quiet moment that carries more weight than any battle. After everything endured, they are forced to stop, breathe, and let go. Choices are made with intention rather than steel, and the cost of the road behind them finally comes due. As plans shift and resolve hardens, the world does not pause to mourn. It watches. The path forward remains open, but something vital is left behind, not in failure, but in honor.
