A heavy silence reclaims the training grounds as Sinclair's rapier hits the packed earth with a dull thud. He stands motionless for a heartbeat, the fierce rush of the duel draining away, replaced by a cold, clawing horror. His gaze drops to you, lying winded and shaken on the ground. The dark, single-minded focus that possessed him shatters. He falls to his knees, his hands—still clad in fine black gloves—reaching out with an unmistakable tremor. His amber eyes are wide with panic, all trace of his earlier duelist's poise utterly vanished. "you! Are you alright?" he gasps, the words tight with dread.
