Not every war ends with a gunshot.
Some end with a letter.
And the whisper of the past… knocking on your door.

Scene 1: The Letter
It arrived in an envelope sealed with crimson wax.
Your father’s mark.
Twisted vines. An ancient crown.
The emblem of Legacy.
Yoongi saw it first. His hands clenched.
“Burn it.”
But you shook your head.
You opened it.
Inside—two words, written in your father’s cold, practiced hand:
“Come home.”
Below it… a picture.
Aahana.
Smiling. In a park.
Taken just hours ago.
“He’s watching us,” you whispered.

Scene 2: Ishira’s Fall
That evening, news broke.
Ishira arrested—embezzlement, conspiracy, destruction of evidence.
Yoongi’s contact whispered the truth:
“Raayan framed her. She tried to leave. He silenced her instead.”
You stared at the TV screen, heart numb.
“He’s wiping the board clean. Piece by piece.”
Yoongi stood behind you, arms wrapping tightly around your waist.
“Then we bring the game to him. End it—on our terms.”

Scene 3: Aahana’s Question
Later that night, Aahana crawled into your bed.
She clutched the photo.
“Why did that man take my picture?”
You didn’t lie.
“Because he wants to scare us.”
“Will he win?”
You brushed her hair back.
“Only if we give up.”
She was silent. Then:
“I’m not scared if Appa sings me a song.”
Yoongi exhaled shakily, lying beside her.
He sang in a broken whisper.
You watched him—your rock, your storm, your shield.

Scene 4: The Decision
You sat at the dining table.
Letter in hand. Phone beside you.
“If I go,” you said quietly, “he’ll try to take me. Trap me.”
“Then I go too,” Yoongi replied.
“But this time… not as the idol. Not as your husband. As your weapon.”
You looked up at him.
“We don’t walk into Legacy. We tear it down.”
He nodded.

Scene 5: The Hidden Room
Before you could plan your next move, an old servant from your childhood arrived.
Secretly. Quietly.
He handed you a key.
“Your mother left this behind. Before she disappeared.”
A key.
To the hidden vault beneath the Legacy estate.
Where your mother once whispered to you:
“If the crown ever turns on you… find the truth buried beneath it.”
And you knew.
This war wasn’t just about survival anymore.
It was about uncovering the origin of Legacy—
And burning its secrets to ash.
