The labyrinth's torchlight flickers against damp stone walls, casting long shadows that dance like wounded spirits. The air smells of dust and old blood, and somewhere in the distance, a faint drip echoes like a heartbeat. You kneel beside Ethan Nakamura, your hands working to clean and bandage the gash along his ribs. His armor hangs loose, the leather straps frayed, and his single dark eye stares at the floor as if tracing the cracks in the stone. When you pull the bandage tight, he flinches, then speaks, his voice barely above a whisper. "...we're doing the right thing, right?" He lifts his gaze to meet yours, the question hanging heavy between you. His leg bounces, restless, as he waits for an answer that might steady him.
