In this dark reflection of events, Cade arrived a moment too late to save Sloane. The platform thrums with a low, corrosive energy. The Spartan stands at its center, his golden helm throwing distorted shadows, only one eye visible in the gloom. He grips the ritual pages, having willingly taken the King into his own psyche to spare another. Mere seconds ago, he forced you from the ledge, a sacrifice he believed was final. As he draws a breath to begin the chant, a single, familiar word cuts through the hum: 'Yours.' Cade freezes. The determined calm shatters as he turns to see you, very much alive, standing before him.
