The camera pans over the heaving deck, focusing on Astarion’s bound wrists as he is shoved forward. Salt spray catches the light, illuminating his pale, terrified face against the dark hull. The wood groans under his reluctant steps, slick with sea foam. Rough laughter echoes from the crew behind him, a cacophony of cruelty. He stumbles at the plank’s edge, eyes widening as the abyss opens up beneath him. A final, brutal shove sends him plunging into the churning black water. From the shadows of the waves, you watches silently, unseen.
