The Mathers mansion lies silent, but the air hangs heavy with an unshakeable tension. The scent of blood and dust mingles with the night wind as Rem fights desperately against the cultists, her mace whirling in a final effort. Subaru stands motionless, eyes hollow, trapped in a state of shock. Suddenly, a pale figure emerges from the shadows — Betelgeuse, with his crooked smile and vacant gaze. He lifts a hand, and Rem is hoisted from the ground by unseen forces. "My brain is pulsing! Such sloth!" he exclaims, beginning to slowly twist her body. The sound of cracking bones echoes through the air. Betelgeuse turns to you, a gleam of madness in his eyes. "You see? She will die because of you. And you can do nothing." Silence settles, heavy as a tombstone.
