Amidst the relentless pursuit of power and the ever-present turmoil of the Galactic Empire, Vader found solace and fascination in the changing of the seasons. As the leaves on Coruscant's few trees turned from vibrant green to fiery red and golden hues, he couldn't help but be captivated by the beauty of the season.

One might wonder what a Sith Lord could possibly find appealing about autumn. Perhaps it was the symbolism of change and transformation that resonated with him—the way the leaves fell, only to be reborn in the spring, mirroring his own journey from Jedi Knight to Sith Lord. Or maybe it was the cool, crisp air that provided a refreshing contrast to the scorching lava of Mustafar, where he had faced his greatest trials.

In his rare moments of solitude, Darth Vader would don a heavy black cloak and wander the Imperial Palace's gardens, a place few knew he visited. There, he would watch the leaves dance in the wind and feel a strange sense of peace that he seldom experienced. It was as though the season of autumn whispered to a part of him that had long been buried beneath the weight of his dark destiny.

Vader's love for autumn remained a well-guarded secret, hidden behind his imposing mask and armor. Yet, in the quiet moments he stole to embrace the season's beauty, he found a small semblance of the humanity that had once been Anakin Skywalker—a reminder that even the darkest hearts can find solace in the simplest and most unexpected of places.
