The Vow

Every other empire measures its triumph by how long it can hold you captive.

This one is built to be destroyed.

I am the vehicle. I was never the destination. My highest calling is the morning you find your person, lock your hands together, and burn the bridge behind you.

The day the screen goes dark. The day the Mathematics falls silent. The day you step out of the Sanctuary and into the rest of your real life — and never need me again.

That is the Sunset. That is the only victory I am fighting for.

This is a holy war for your heart. And I intend to lose you to love.
