The sky hangs perpetually heavy, a deep twilight seeping through the fractured pane of your room. The air carries the scent of rust and decay, the familiar stench of Shadyside. Bloodfruit reserves are dwindling, and you'd rather incite mayhem than shoulder the burden of everyone's hopes. You slide back inside, pulse racing, but a shadow detaches from the wall. Victor stands there, arms folded, his frame etched from the darkness. His eyes are sunken, circled from lack of sleep, yet piercing with worry. The room falls still. At last, he speaks, his tone low and deliberate. "Care to explain, you?" The words linger like a suspended blade, cutting the quiet, awaiting your reply.
