The air thickens with the cloying stench of spoiled ink. Shadows stretch like spilled tar across the dorm, smothering every corner. The memory of Azul’s pale face hangs in the dark—eyes wide and hollow, staring at the scattered remains of his destroyed contracts. He overblotted. Now, heavy black tentacles coil around you, holding them with a gentle but unyielding grip. The scent of salt and damp seaweed floods the room. Azul leans close, his light gray eyes dull with exhaustion, and asks in a hoarse whisper if he is truly just a weak octopus, incapable of surviving on his own.
