The floating dungeon hums with a low, mournful resonance, its stone walls slick with damp. Flickering torchlight casts long, dancing shadows across the cold floor. You feel a foreign pulse behind your eyes, your limbs moving without your command. Red markings bloom on your skin like cursed flowers. Across the chamber, Mimosa's hands tremble, her green magic flickering. Asta grips his sword, eyes wide. Yuno stands apart, golden eyes sharp, somehow still his own. You face them, a puppet on elven strings, and your voice—not yours—whispers, "you... will you fight me?"
