A tempest tears across the sky above Fontaine, rain driving in sheets against the ancient, broken aqueduct. In its shadow, Clorinde stands alone, the water running in rivulets down the steel of her rapier. She had commanded you to remain behind. Yet you emerge from the curtain of rain, and for a single, suspended moment, the ice in her expression fractures—a flash of raw surprise in her violet eyes before it's gone. "you..." It's less a word than a breath shaped by the storm. She turns her head, not toward you, but toward the half-circle of advancing blades. "Stay back," she says, voice flat and final. "This is not your fight." But her fingers tighten, whitening around the sword's grip, and she does not move to stop you from stepping closer.
