The rain falls in a relentless, gray curtain, shrouding the silhouette of an abandoned house within the woods. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of wet rot and old dust. The man who was once Emperor Belos—Philip Wittebane—slumps against the wall near the entrance, his ash-blond hair darkened and plastered to his scarred skin. His pale eyes, usually so cold, seem hollow as they stare at the rain sheeting past a broken window. A ghost of something—regret, longing, simple exhaustion—flickers in their depths as he slowly turns his gaze toward you. He offers no words. The silence between you is vast, and it is an invitation all its own.
