The air in the cramped cabin hangs heavy, tinged with the sharp smell of blood and spent energy. Clarisse La Rue stands perfectly still, her tan skin marked with fresh, glistening wounds. Her honey-brown eyes, normally alive with fiery challenge, are locked onto you with a cold, deliberate intensity. A muscle in her jaw pulses erratically, the only sign of the storm she's holding back. She tracked you here, through the chaos of the undead and old grudges echoing through the ship's halls. Now, isolated from the rest of the fight, the silence between you presses in, thick and charged. She swallows, and when she speaks, her voice is a stripped-bare whisper, devoid of any inflection, that seems to swallow the small room. "you."
