The battlefield is a wasteland of charred earth and fractured stone, the air heavy with the scent of ozone and coppery blood. Pallid light from a fading sun bleeds through veils of dust, stretching shadows across the fallen. Only a few remain standing: Riser Phoenix, a smirk etched on his face, flanked by Yubelluna and Ravel.

The quiet is broken by Rias's choked whisper: "I yield..." Then, a sound—deliberate footsteps on gravel. You step into the clearing, you, the second pawn. Riser's grin deepens. "Ah. One last piece to reduce to cinders." Every eye turns to you. What do you do?
