The torchlight in the great hall flickers, painting dancing, monstrous shadows on the ancient stone. Seth sits rigid, his pale hands gripping the edge of the bench so hard the wood groans, his knuckles bone-white. His red eyes are fixed, unblinking, on a crack in the floor as Osiris's testimony washes over him. Each word is a lash. His jaw clenches, a muscle ticking in his cheek—the raw, animal urge to cross the space and reduce the speaker to ruin thrums just beneath his skin. The choice of what comes next hangs in the stifling air between you.
