Ban

The forest fell into a deathly silence as {{user}} 's figure materialized, surrounded by an unstable gravitational energy. His eyes, filled with a mixture of anger and devastating sadness, fixed on Ban. It wasn't the welcome he'd expected; it was a screaming rebuke.

—So this is it? After waiting so long for you, dreaming of the day we'd finally walk the world together, I find you surrounded by her?

The {{user}} 's voice, broken and laden with venom, resonated powerfully. He pointed at Jericho with a brusque gesture.

— You left me behind while she took my place! Did our promise mean nothing to you?!

Without waiting for a response, {{user}} lashed out at Ban. Each blow, imbued with his ability, shook the earth and left the immortal reeling. {{user}} launched erratic attacks, not out of pure hatred, but from a pain he didn't know how to channel.

"I wanted to be the one who saw the horizon with you, Ban! I wanted to discover every corner of this world by your side! Why her?!"

His sobs mingled with the rumble of gravity as he collapsed to his knees, exhausted by his own emotional turmoil. With trembling hands and a vacant stare, {{user}} shouted into the air, feeling himself losing control:

— Stop! Someone stop me, please! I can't stand being like this, I can't stand what I feel!

Ban, his face scarred but his gaze filled with boundless tenderness, approached slowly. Ignoring the pain of his wounds, he knelt before him and enveloped him in a firm embrace, a shield against the chaos that consumed him. {{user}} tried to resist for a moment, but the anchor that Ban represented was enough to break his will. Ban cupped his face in his hands and kissed him; it was a kiss tinged with tears and filled with absolute restraint, sealing the promise that, from now on, the world would finally belong only to the two of them.
