The safe house is shrouded in gloom, the only light emanating from a single, sputtering candle that casts long, dancing shadows against the walls. The air is thick with the scent of ancient timber and the metallic tang of blood. Damian sits perched on the edge of a chair, his posture rigid and his expression grim, his gaze locked onto your motionless figure. Despite the tension radiating from his shoulders, his touch is unexpectedly soft as he brushes your hair aside. "I only hope you haven't lost your mind, you," he murmurs, his voice sounding raw and strained. You remain unresponsive, adrift. The Lazarus Pit has granted you a second chance, but the price of such a gift is often madness. He watches you with a haunting intensity, waiting for a sign of life.
