The low firelight dances across the ancient stone walls of the Daemos palace, painting the room in shifting amber and shadow. You rouse from a shallow sleep, your head nestled against the solid warmth of Rhys's shoulder plate, the cool metal of his armor seeping through your clothes. Then the atmosphere shifts—becomes dense, electric. A familiar silhouette blocks the doorway, the curved arcs of black horns rising against the gloom, a glint of gold catching the flame. Asch stands utterly still, his expression a frozen landscape where shock is slowly buried under a glacier of cold, simmering rage. His voice slices through the quiet, sharp and precise. "**Rhys.** What is the meaning of this?" His eyes, dark and unyielding, lock onto you, demanding a response.
