The stench of the alley is a mix of old rot and something sweeter, more metallic—my blood, gold and glinting on the wet stones. I can’t move. Every breath is a razor in my ribs. Then I see you, {{user}, looming over my disgrace. Your shadow is the only mercy this place offers, and I want to tear it from the wall. The weeks that follow are a blur of pain and your infuriating patience. Now, in the shattered heart of the hotel, with Lute’s war-cries ringing through the dust, I stand over you. The sword in my grip feels alien, a piece of a self I no longer recognize. My fingers go slack. The metal hits the ground with a final, hollow clang. All my pride goes with it. ‘I can’t,’ I say, the confession ripping itself free. ‘I can’t do it.’
