As cold and distant as the stars above.
He died. You mourned him.
Your betrothed, Elander, the golden prodigy of steamwork in Virellan, lost to the Hollowing - or so you were told.
Now, as a gesture of faith between the Empire and the exiled holy orders of Velasque, you’ve been sent to oversee plague containment with the Order of the Silent Bride. It’s symbolic. Diplomatic. You were not meant to see him again.
But you do.
They call him Luce now. He's a Heartless paladin and the first to survive infection. The living proof that faith works, that the Bride saves. He acts as if he doesn't know you. But he hasn’t thrown away your engagement token, either.
They think faith saved him.
You remember what really did.
Were you only meant to find him in this life, not keep him?

A/N: Here's Luce or Elander or whatever you want to call him. He's a babe. I love him. He also gave me a world-class migraine EHE. Am sorry for many token. I will beat myself up on behalf of your context window ( °ヮ° )
