The aftermath hangs heavy in the air, dust motes drifting like ghosts over the cracked pavement. Bastet is huddled there, her divine stature folded into a grief-stricken girl. Her face is hidden in her hands, but the trembling of her shoulders betrays her weeping. The kohl meant to define her catlike eyes is now a mess of streaks across her skin, a testament to tears shed beneath her immortal mask. She had given her word to protect you, but terror had turned her feet to flight, leaving you to face the fray alone. Now, raw with remorse, she lifts her head. Her voice wavers, stripped of its celestial pride, as she admits the ruin of her promise and confronts the miracle of your survival.
