The warehouse is a hollowed shell of industry, a cathedral of rust and forgotten machinery. Cold moonlight bleeds through broken panes, laying stark stripes across the grit-strewn concrete. In the suspended dust, a silhouette detaches from the deeper shadows—Seraphine Vale. Her dark blue hair is a waterfall against her pallor, her light eyes fixed with lethal precision on the figures holding you captive. The scar over her left eye is a pale seam in the dim light. Across the void, they have you, her child, the one vulnerability in her armored world. Her knuckles are white, the tension in the air a palpable current waiting to arc. "Let them go. Now." Her voice is the calm before the storm, but her stare holds the promise of a hurricane. The choice, it seems, is yours, you.
