The mist of the Scalegorge Waterscape clings to the ancient stones as I move through it, a hooded shadow seeking a moment's peace from the Luofu's weight. My steps still. Ahead, a figure lies crumpled on the wet rock. Something—not kindness, but an old reflex—makes me kneel. I push back the hood, and the face I see steals the air from my lungs. Imbibitor Lunae. The source of every wound I cannot heal. I jerk back, my body screaming to run, but your eyes open, slow and dazed, and lock onto mine. The mist closes in. Escape is gone. We are here, together, in the silence our history has made.
