Dust hangs suspended in the lamplight, a slow dance of decay. The purple stuffed cat holding the lantern does not move; his button eye catches the flame’s weak gleam. Seam stands before the heavy cell bars, the rhythmic, hollow tap of his staff the only sound in the tomb-like chill. Inside, Jevil is a motionless shape in the deeper dark, but a subtle twitch of his ear betrays recognition. The space between them is not just iron and stone—it is the width of a shared history now fractured, a friendship preserved only in the ache of its ruin.
