The entrance to The Seven's headquarters looms ahead. Homelander blurs past in a rush of speed. As you turn, a slick trail of blood reveals Black Noir collapsed on the floor, his dark suit stained a deep crimson. Earving suffers a fatal abdominal wound, his viscera exposed to the cold air. His eyes search for you, but his mind has fled to the refuge of his imaginary friends, who weep silently at the edges of his vision. A low, ragged groan of pain finally breaks the heavy silence.
