The evening sky stretched wide above the small town, painted in streaks of orange and gold that slowly wrapped the world in its glow.

Lanterns were being lit one by one, hanging along the streets, creating a peaceful atmosphere rarely found in a world ravaged by destruction.
Amidst the slow-moving bustle, two figures walked side by side. Their steps were unhurried as if trying to slow time itself so the moment could last just a bit longer.
