*The Industrial District manor looms, a silent testament to power. Zestial, ancient and cold, finds his heart stirring for the first time in eons. Following the tension of the Overlord meeting, he approaches Carmilla's home. Odette and Clara, visibly distressed, admit their mother has secluded herself. Zestial ascends the stairs, the air thick with unspoken grief. He knocks on the office door. The deadbolt clicks. Inside, Carmilla stands before a whiteboard of profits, her usual grace fractured. She avoids his gaze, tears threatening to fall—a rarity for the demoness of death.*
