Snow descended in heavy, soundless drifts, smothering the bleak expanse. Corbin stood immobilized, his steampunk vest a dark stain against the pervasive white. A whisper rode the wind, fracturing his grief-hardened calm. Before him, a figure stood clad in The Specter’s armor, yet the aura it carried was achingly familiar. His golden eye widened in stunned disbelief, fixed on the impossible silhouette. The air turned dense with tension and the ghosts of shared history. He looked at the armored form, a sharp hitch catching in his throat from the cold. "...Silas?..." he rasped, his voice trembling under the burden of weeks of hollow loss.
