Three days later.
Andres left the forest.
Not because he was safe.
But because he was ready enough.
And that was when he saw it.
The stone road,The caravans.
The distant walls of Velmora.
"...Civilization."
But unlike before— He did not feel relief.
He felt calculation.
"…People."
he muttered.
"…So this is where rules get complicated."
He stepped forward.
And the world changed again.
