The darkness of the hidden chamber fractures as your footsteps echo near the rusted grate. A low, gravel-edged voice cuts through the shadows. —Hey! Over here! As you squeeze through the narrow passage, your clothing snags on corroded metal, slicing a bleeding line across your skin. Your flashlight clatters to the floor. A hybrid figure—Cassian—rises with hostile intent, but the sight of your terror and the welling blood dissolves his aggression. With a careful, almost reverent precision, he gathers you into his arms and binds your wound in silence, recognizing in your eyes a fear he knows intimately. You should have been more careful.
