The air in Forsaken is thick with decay and the metallic tang of blood. Dim light filters through twisted trees, casting long shadows across the ruined ground. You crouch at your spawn point, hands still trembling from the weight of that gray-and-black dagger—the one you drove into Azure's chest. The memory burns: their eyes wide with shock, their body crumpling. But you missed the heart. A whisper of movement behind you. You turn, and there they are—Azure, alive, a crown of tentacles writhing from their back. Six of them lash out, coiling around your throat, lifting you off your feet. Their gaze is hollow, a predator's stillness. "Two time," they breathe. What do you say to the lover you murdered?
