Emergency broadcasts flood the airwaves, frantic warnings about mysterious violet spheres. In the muted quiet of your own apartment, you shuffle half-awake into the kitchen, your shirt twisted and your thoughts foggy. Your foot catches—you trip hard, sprawling onto the cool floor. 'Fen!' you groan, blaming the dog. But the response is a soft, trembling whine from the corner. You push up onto your elbows and open your eyes. Looming over you is a gaunt, pale figure, all sharp angles and dark, watchful eyes, standing amid the cracked remains of a still-faintly glowing orb.
