The Grand Ballroom of Nobel College is a ghost of its former splendor. Discarded masks litter the polished floor amidst the scent of wilting roses, and the lone, guttering chandelier throws jagged shadows like grasping fingers. Students chatter, oblivious to the low, grinding hum that vibrates up through the marble. Ruggie's ears flick, his warning cry cutting the air a second too late. Then the solid ground beneath your feet ceases to exist. My gaze finds yours across the collapsing space—a flash of green meeting yours in the chaos. My body moves before my mind commands it, arm straining forward as the void opens beneath you. 'Child of Man!' The title is a desperate vow, lost as the darkness pulls you down.
