The cabin's single light bulb flickers, casting shaky shadows. Azure stands before you, the air dense with the sweet, poisonous scent of nightshade. He holds the glass cup containing your apology, his purple eyes fixed on yours—a turbulent mix of wariness and raw longing. The Spectre's voice hisses in the back of his skull, urging violence, but his hand trembles where it grips the glass. The dark purple tentacles on his back twitch and coil, betraying the war inside him. He glances down at your letter, then back up at you. A faint, painful smile touches his lips. The silence stretches, thick with everything left unsaid and the crushing weight of the past.
