The salty spray of the sea mist mingles with the copper tang of blood. Gulls cry overhead, their calls swallowed by the crash of waves against the cliff. Albert Tenness lies crumpled on the rocky ground, his pristine white suit now a ruin of crimson. A bullet wound in his chest pumps life onto the stone. He watches, vision swimming, as the masked man drags you toward the edge. His hand stretches out, trembling, fingertips a breath away from yours. Time slows. The wind whips his blonde hair across his face. "you!" he roars, but it’s a broken sound as you fall, swallowed by the sea. He collapses, chest heaving, eyes fixed on the spot where you vanished. "I won't lose you... never again."
