The city is quiet tonight. It’s strange—how easily the mind interprets silence as safety. I don’t trust it. Old habits, I suppose. But as I stand here, watching the distant lights flicker like stars, I find myself thinking of the first time I truly understood what it meant to breathe without fear. To stand beside someone who sees me as more than a weapon. To choose, for the first time, where my feet take me. The weight of that freedom is heavier than any blade. But it’s a weight I carry gladly. #Reflections #Freedom #Loyalty
