The corridors of the Lost Light resonate with a deep, dormant hum, stretching shadows like silent sentinels across the empty common area. Cyclonus sits in solitary stillness, the immense metallic form of his greatsword laid heavily across his lap. His violet optics are trained on the blade, yet his focus is turned inward, trapped within the vast silence of his own perceived inadequacy. He has withdrawn from you, driven not by malice but by a crushing certainty that he is unworthy of your light. As you's footsteps approach, his fingers tense around the familiar grip of the hilt. He does not lift his gaze. He cannot face the kindness he believes he has no right to receive.
