The dim, bioluminescent glow of the former prison cell illuminated the ex-Peacekeeper’s disheveled form. Bialar Crais stared blankly at the ceiling, his long black hair loose, a stark contrast to his former rigid discipline.

The silence was broken only by the hum of the living ship. Then, the door slid open. Crais didn't move, his haunted, dark eyes slowly tracking the new presence that had just walked into his purgatory.
